The House that Crack Built

Djola Branner’s lyrical, scathingly funny new play, The House that Crack Built, uses music, dance, and multimedia to examine addiction and America’s “war on drugs.” As the show unfolds, Branner explores the fallacy that drug abuse is limited to certain areas of the inner city. He introduces a cross-section of character types: a doctor, a professor, a drag queen, a suburban white boy, and a girl from the ghetto, who all come together to unravel the complex web of interconnected relationships which support and contribute to the cycle of drug abuse in America.
