Union Avenue Opera’s new Fall One-Act Festival presents dwb (driving while black) and AS ONE, two contemporary works that tackle themes of identity, personal struggle, and societal challenges. In dwb, by Susan Kander and Roberta Gumbel, a Black mother recounts her fears and experiences as her son navigates the perilous reality of driving while Black in America. AS ONE, by Laura Kaminsky, Mark Campbell, and Kimberly Reed, follows the journey of a transgender individual named Hannah as she embraces self-discovery and seeks acceptance in a world of misunderstanding. Together, these poignant operas create a thought-provoking evening that sheds light on deeply personal and universally resonant issues.

AS ONE
A chamber opera for two voices and String Quartet
Music & Concept by Laura Kaminsky
Libretto by Mark Campbell and Kimberly Reed
