A new play premieres in Houston about the 1963 Birmingham church bombing. TET_Houston
Actor/playwright Crystal Rae was having lunch with another actor, bouncing ideas around, when he declared that what he needed was a one-man show and could she write him one."I'd like to tell the story of being the father of one of the four little girls," actor Silvanus LaToison told her.the Ku Klux Klan bombed the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham"Of course actors, they want things fast. He needed it like in two weeks.
The play starts in 1963, with the bombing and centers on David, a father who lost his youngest daughter in the attack. He's always been something of a straight arrow, but now his wife and surviving daughter are also threatened. As happened in real life, the culprits went free for years before finally being prosecuted for their actions
Although based on true events, Rae imagined what she thought a father in such a case would be thinking. Rae had had a vague awareness of what had happened in Birmingham while she was growing up but it was seeing the Spike Lee documentary on it while she was in college that"sealed it" for her.
