Legacies
by Kermit Frazier

An African American college professor who is feeling stuck both in his life and in his world of words meets a female African American student who comes to represent for him a dangerous kind of renewal and redemption, one that leads to tragedy for two disparate families.

"Kermit Frazier is one of the most underrated, under-the-radar African American playwrights of his generation … [His] plays are both lyrical and richly theatrical.

And while they typically deal unflinchingly with the landscape of African American life and the socio-political issues of that life, the scope of his work ranges far beyond that culture."

—Woodie King, Jr., Producing Director, New Federal Theatre

"Kermit Frazier is a wonderful playwright — always willing to tackle controversial subjects through the portrayal of unusual and complex characters."

—Cassandra Medley

"Kermit's creativity dances well in this world [of theater] and his writing always springs forth from the heart of the artist that he is."

—Rob Goodman, Managing Director, First Stage Children's Theater
