For Bo

Inspired by the real-life murder of Botham Jean that took place in Dallas, TX, FOR BO unpacks the unfortunate tragedy that befalls the Jones family when brother and son Bo Jones is murdered in his own home by police officer Amy Guy. Through contemporary free verse poetry, rhythm, percussion, and dance this fictional narrative explores the social issues that lead to Bo Jones’ death and how society, particularly the black community, grapples with the resulting trauma. Most of all, FOR BO reminds us that each thought and action has the power to change tomorrow for worse or for better.
