Please join The New Press at the extended run of 12 Angry Men: True Stories of Being a Black Man in America Today, presented in partnership with The Center for Arts & Culture at Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation's Billie Holiday Theatre, after its initial sold-out run in October. The performance will be directed by Tony Award-winner George Faison and is based on book by the same name, edited by Gregory S. Parks and Matthew W. Hughey and published by The New Press.

In an era of contentious debate about controversial police practices, this theatrical presentation reveals some pointed truths about our nation, as a collective of African-American actors represent a dozen African-American men from across the United States and their personal stories of being racially profiled.
