Griot Media Reading of Smoke

 Last night I went to a reading at Newark Public Library of Griot Media’s play called Smoke!!! It’s about the current state of mental health issues within the medical community/system! It was raw and forward in its approach to race and the care people receive in hospital system!

Ralph and Zelda Patterson, the owners/producers of Griot Media, picked strong candidates for their reading with the director, Raven Patterson (no relation to Ralph or Zelda).

There was also a strong Q&A afterwards with many of the people who were from the medical field commenting on how they related to the characters!!!!

Below are some shots of the reading
