THE STORY by Tracey Scott Wilson
In September of 1980, a talented, young, African-American reporter named Janet Cooke wrote Jimmys World, a Pulitzer Prize-winning article for The Washington Post. Cookes story told of an eight-year-old, third-generation heroin addict living on the dangerous streets of Washington, D.C. Public outrage pushed many social services organizations to seek out Jimmy and his family. The problem: Jimmy didnt exist. Based on true events, The Story examines morality as the lines between truth and ambition become dangerously distorted.
Director: Chuck Mike

We are committed to the theatre as a vibrant cultural force that engages audiences in meaningful and important issues of our time through compelling live performances.
