    Based on the acclaimed book, Something Happened in Our Town follows the journey of Josh and Emma after something terrible happens in their town. A Black man was killed by a white police officer, and they have real questions that deserve real answers. By following the conversations of these two families, one white and one Black, we discover that the answers to those questions don’t come easily. Award-winning playwright Cheryl L. West has layered this play with compassion, humor, and relatable characters. This show invites you to walk alongside Josh and Emma as they confront uncertainty within their own town and seek to plant the seeds of change in their community.
