Mirroring a real-life incident, the play follows a series of events after a Black male neighbor notices Tamara’s mother’s front door is cracked open and calls the non-emergency number. Crack the Door for Some Air explores the unjust reality of police brutality against Black women in America and how it affects families and communities.
