ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
RACE is an Opera inspired by the life story of Kelley Dolphus Stroud, a Colorado Springs resident, and an American of African, Native, and European descent, who rose to be a star scholar-athlete projected to win the 5k Olympic trials in 1928. His story, exhibiting excellence, uniquely stunning achievement, love, and determination, starts when he is denied funding to travel from Colorado Springs to Boston for the Olympic trial.
DETERMINED to make it to the starting line, Stroud mostly walks and runs 2,000 miles across defacto segregated America. Through visions and memories he corresponds with his mystical Aunt Jennie, pragmatic sister, Effie, and competitive brother, Tandy. As he recounts his journey, their voices become his counterpoint and strength. Tragically, he arrives at the race on time but loses due to malnutrition and exhaustion.
