Award-winning writer/director Layon Gray’s Black Angels Over Tuskegee addreses an overlooked part of history: the first African-American fighter pilots in the US Army Air Force. Based on interviews with WWII Tuskegee vets, the play follows six men from training to combat as they face discrimination at home and the Germans abroad. The play won the 2009 NAACP Award for "Best Ensemble" and, indeed, it's best during the many scenes of camaraderie. While the staging is minimal, enjoy the dialogue, acting, and extraordinary stories that form the backbone of this compelling drama.
