A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR What happened in Crown Heights thirty years ago, exists in the ‘rememory’ of it, to use a word coined by Toni Morrison, as a harbinger to our present. When I look beyond the tragedy of the lives lost on August 19, 1991, it’s clear the repetitive pattern of oppression in which all our lives hinge. How do we disrupt a society and culture which was formed and maintained to capitalize and weaponize our differences?

Fires offers us the opportunity to practice the art of witnessing, that, when done well, places us in a posture of listening. That listening is not just to others but to what our bodies are telling us about what we need for our own healing.

The work of transformation, the work of right relationship, requires our attention and commitment to listen beyond our fear, our pain, our loss, our grief, our rage. It requires us to keep looking at ourselves, our communities and at those who are not like us. We do this to begin to see and feel our mental barriers which prevent us from forming genuine connections across differences.

The work of collective healing begins with individuals like yourself, for we all have work to do—though not the same work—to disrupt the conditions and systems that would deny our liberation. And if we can do that, give ourselves permission to heal, Fires perhaps reaches its goal to become a play which is no longer relevant precisely because we heeded its call.

To my parents and children, I love you. Your support allows me to practice my heart’s work. My deepest gratitude to all the humans, including audience, donors, community activists, Long Wharf Theatre staff, the show’s designers, actors, and stage management team, all of whom generously tithed their time, talent, and artistry into this production. Thank you!

NICOLE BREWER, DIRECTOR

CONTENT TRANSPARENCY Fires in the Mirror catalogs reflections of the Crown Heights Riots, a racially-charged conflict that engulfed the New York neighborhood in 1991. This play contains strong language and references to racism, slavery, lynching, anti-semitism, sexual violence, and the Holocaust.

ABOUT THE SHOW

In 1991, in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, an Hasidic man’s car jumped a curb, killing Gavin Cato, a seven-year-old Black child.

Later, in what appears to have been an act of retaliation on the part of a faction of the black community, Yankel Rosenbaum, an Hasidic rabbinical student, was stabbed and killed. The ensuing riots that wracked Crown Heights’ previous atmosphere of tolerance for its divergent cultures made national headlines and pointed to the growing friction in racial and cultural relations across America.

Drawing verbatim from a series of over fifty interviews with Crown Heights’ residents, politicians, activists, religious leaders, gangs, street dwellers, victims, and perpetrators alike, Anna Deavere Smith’s Fires in the Mirror is a theatrical event distilling the lives and voices of twenty-six of the incident’s survivors into a visionary amalgam, the import of which touches upon every American regardless of race, color, or beliefs.

IN MEMORIAM

We welcome you to our meditation and reflection space in the lobby.

We invite you to process, digest, and release here during intermission and after the show.

CROWN HEIGHTS HISTORICAL TIMELINE

LEFT: 1839 deed of Sale for land in Brooklyn’s 9th Ward, which became Weeksville via the Brooklyn Historical Society.

1827

1908

1930s & 1940s

After slavery was abolished in New York State in 1827, free Black professionals founded Weeksville in what is now known as Crown Heights. It was the second-largest free Black community in the antebellum U.S. Weeksville flourished throughout the 19th century and was eventually absorbed into greater Brooklyn.

The earliest Jewish immigrants in Crown Heights arrived in the 1900s (though Jewish families had lived in parts of Brooklyn since the 1600s). The expansion of subway service to Brooklyn in 1908 led many Jewish immigrants to relocate from the Lower East Side of Manhattan to parts of Brooklyn, including Crown Heights.

In the 1930s, Jamaican immigrants and Eastern European Jewish immigrants arrived in the area.

Black Americans from the South began to arrive in the 1940s.

CROWN HEIGHTS HISTORICAL TIMELINE

1940

1950s

1960s

In 1940, the Lubavitch Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn fled wartime Europe and moved to Crown Heights, bringing many members of the Lubavitch Hasidic community to Brooklyn. Crown Heights became the headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, and the community continued to grow in the decades that followed.

While many white families moved to the suburbs after World War II, this option was not open to many Black families, who faced significant discrimination in the suburbs and were forbidden from applying to live in certain suburban towns. As many white Jewish, Irish, and Italian families left Crown Heights for the suburbs, Black families from the Southern U.S. and Caribbean immigrant families moved in.

The Caribbean community in particular grew in the 1960s as many Caribbean nations became independent from their colonial governments.

England became more restrictive of immigration from its former colonial states, and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 reversed over fifty years of discriminatory immigration policy in the U.S.

1980s

1990s

TODAY

While many other Jewish communities gradually moved away from Crown Heights throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the Lubavitch Hasidic Jewish community remained. In 1969, Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson chose to keep the community in Crown Heights.

In the 1990s, Eastern Parkway served as a dividing line: African American and AfroCaribbean communities lived primarily north of the Parkway, and the Hasidic Jewish community lived primarily south of it.

Currently, Hasidic Jewish people represent about 25% of the Crown Heights population. There are approximately forty synagogues in Crown Heights serving different Jewish communities. The Little Caribbean neighborhood in Crown Heights is the largest and most diverse Caribbean-AmericanLatine/x community outside of the West Indies.

REMEMBERING THE CROWN HEIGHTS RIOTS, 30 YEARS LATER In Fires in the Mirror, we hear a wide array of first-hand accounts of events that took place during three days in August 1991 in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. Part of the complexity of the play lies in the conflicting accounts about what happened and differing interpretations about why tensions erupted into violence.

Below is a timeline of key moments we hear about in the play.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS

AUGUST 19, 1991 (AROUND 8PM) - Car crash involving a car driven by Yosef Lifsh which results in the death of seven year old Gavin Cato, the son of Guyanese immigrants, who was fixing his bike on the sidewalk.

AUGUST 19, 1991 (LATER) - Crowds and rumors grow, opinions and mourning erupts into violence.

AUGUST 19, 1991 (around 11pm) - Yankel Rosenbaum, a twenty-nine year old Jewish university student is stabbed and beaten by a group of young Black men, resulting in his death later that night in the hospital.

AUGUST 20-22, 1991 - Three days of clashing opinions, public violence, and protest, including communities from —7— outside the neighborhood and leaders like Reverend Al Sharpton and Sonny Carson.

AUGUST 22, 1991 - Over 1,500 police officers dispatched to stop the attacks on people and property.

BY THE END - 66 civilians and 168 police officers were injured and 163 people were arrested.

Crown Heights to this day still remembers and is working through the violence that roiled the neighborhood.

Anna Deavere Smith interviewed the people we hear in the play and wrote Fires in the Mirror very shortly after the events took place and it premiered just nine months later in May 1992 at The Public Theater

9

in New York. She is widely considered one of the key figures in the verbatim theatre, which is a particular style of documentary theatre that relies on interview transcripts, recordings, court proceedings, or other texts that are arranged into a performance piece where they are performed verbatim, exactly as spoken.

30 years later, Fires in the Mirror gives us the opportunity to reflect on how much has changed since August 1991 and yet how much remains the same. It’s up to each of us to draw our own conclusions about how to move toward healing and create communities of belonging.

Cloteal L. Horne (she/her) PERFORMER

Cloteal L. Horne’s name aptly weaves together parts of her grandparents’ names.

From mustering the courage to stand before witnesses on stage or screen, to being a raw nerve shining a light upon hidden parts of humanity, and architecting worlds that ignite the imagination towards transformation, she is committed to collaborative processes that illuminate humanity through the craft of storytelling.

Her work uproots classics and tethers itself to immersive ceremonies and rituals that center blackness and black femininity. Horne calls on both the sacred and profane to locate that small (sometimes quiet) place where healing happens. She dedicates her practice to community, honest liberation, and building more just and joyous futures. Blissfully standing on the shoulders of those that come before her, she is a product of her grandmother’s prayers + her ancestors’ wildest dreams. Glory be.

ABOUT LONG WHARF THEATRE

ABOVE: Photo Credit: Long Wharf Theatre

Established in 1965 at the start of the regional theatre movement, Long Wharf Theatre was born on the notion that New Haven deserves an active arts culture that is locally created. Our founders shared the dream of starting a professional theatre company in Connecticut, built with the aid of community leaders and patrons of the arts. We are a theatre of international renown, recognized for a historic commitment to commissioning, developing, and producing new work.
