The Buffalo State Theater Department and Casting Hall Productions proudly present Blood at the Root, a play written by Dominique Morisseau and directed by assistant professor of theater Aaron Moss, in the Donald Savage Building's Flexible Theatre.

When Raylynn, a young African American high school student, dares to do something no one at her school has seen before—sit under a tree unofficially designated for white students—the shocking discovery that follows uproots this community's feelings on race, sexuality, identity, and the miscarriage of justice. Based on real events surrounding the 2007 Jena Six case in Louisiana, this ensemble drama examines how a community's roots influence how they commune.

Tickets are available online, by phone at 878-3005, or in person at the Rockwell Hall Box Office.
