MAGNOLIA -- Donald Cross, of Hot Springs, was part of the cast and crew that performed in Southern Arkansas University's first play of the year, "Dutchman."
Cross is a senior Mass Communication-Digital Cinema major. He played the role of Clay for the show.
"Dutchman" is a one act play by African-American playwright LeRoi Jones and earned a special place in American history and the arts after its first performance in New York City in 1964.
As the Civil Rights Movement escalated, Jones aimed to use his play as a voice of change in America. The play features the story of a black man encountered by a white city woman on a New York City subway, revealing the civil unrest of the time period.
