Garden City, NY – The Nassau Community College Departments of Africana Studies and Theatre and Dance will present Zooman and the Sign, a play by Charles Fuller, January 22-24 and 27-31 at the Little Theatre.

In Zooman and the Sign, a 12-year old black girl is murdered by Zooman, a black teen. Witnesses are too terrified to come forward and identify the killer. The girl's outraged father posts a sign that rips the community apart. This arresting play has been called as shocking as today's and tomorrow's murder headlines.

Performances of Zooman and the Sign are at 8:00 p.m., except on Sundays, when they are at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $9.00 per person, discounted to $7.00 for those 55 and over and those under 18.
