Legacies 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
