Black People Are Dangerous
Black People Are Dangerous
While many of us while have good intentions and try not to profile, it’s important to consider the ways in which we project ideas onto other people. A hitchhiker wonders if she’s just being prejudice, or if the black guy at the wheel is the cannibal mass murderer the police are looking for.

Story
About The Project
A comedic thriller that unabashedly explores the odd byroads and backwaters of the American landscape as a hitchhiker wonders if she’s just being racist, or if the black guy at the wheel really is the cannibalistic mass murderer the police are looking for.
BPAD first premiered in Rule of 7x7, a bi-monthly short play festival, and it later returned in the Best Of series a few months after. It was well received by audiences and critics alike, and considered to be a "hilarious racial commentary" that provided a "charged discussion."
