Liv Morris's senior directing thesis, *Blood At The Root* by Dominique Morisseau, follows an ensemble of high schoolers through the \"miscarriage of justice, racial double standards, and the crises in relations between [people] of all classes.\" This production also aims to echo the mistreatment of underrepresented students under an education system that concedes to its long rooted history of disenfranchisement following the University of Michigan's decision to dissolve all Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives on campus. Performances: Thursday 4/10 show @ 7:30 Friday 4/11 shows @ 7:30 and 11:00 pm Saturday 4/12 show @ 2:00 pm - *a Cookout will follow the performance* Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Performance: Directing.
