Opera Birmingham continues its successful chamber opera series with dwb (driving while black). This new one-act opera explores issues of racial injustice, juxtaposing the story of an African American parent (as her son reaches driving age) with contemporary news bulletins highlighting the dangerous world beyond a parent’s control.  dwb continues our Birmingham Speaks initiative, using this production as a springboard for community conversations where art and life intersect.  

dwb is sung in English with projected English text. The performance length is approximately 60 minutes.
Please note: This production contains adult themes. We recommend that only high school age and older attend.

Join us one hour before each performance of dwb for a Pre-Show Chat with General Director Keith A. Wolfe-Hughes and special guests. Stay with us after the show for a Post-Show Talk-Back with the artists.
