The BBU
Kayla Rolland
Kayla RollandBuell Elementary SchoolThe Black Box Underground would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the families of Kayla Rolland and to everyone else who may be affected by this tragedy. As you no doubt have heard, she was the unfortunate victim of a shooting death in a Beecher school on Monday. Another first grade boy brought a gun to school and shot her during class. She died a half hour later. This horror brings up many issues, especially during the current presidential race concerning gun control laws.

Thank you! This past Sunday March 5, we performed Antonin Artaud's The Cenci in response to the violence and feelings or questions we may all harbor. We raised approximately $170 and an estimated 50 people attended. This is excellent, especially for being on such short notice. Thank you very much for your support.
VIDEO! We appeared on the Sunday TV-12 11 o'clock news broadcast. You can read the transcript and download the video here.

Update! The Black Box Underground expressed its' views on the World Trade Organization conference and protests that recently happened in Seattle, WA. Please read it and send us an email . Our concern generated a response from the WTO summit. Their response appears on the page as well.

We've started posting some individual work on our website. ConnorSkriker Rhapsody. Flint Limericks.

We've found a few interesting Michigan State Laws that may be of interest. Right now how about you take a look.

Interact with the BBU! Read some members' current postings on MLive's Flint Forum. Opinions expressed do not necessarily represent those of the whole BBU, but come pretty damn close.

The Black Box Underground exists as:
- A community based within the geographical, social, and political boundaries of Flint, Michigan.
- An artistic community exploring the cultural, scientific and personal aspects of life through theatre and performance art.
- An urban community concerned with the welfare and economy of our cities and neighborhoods.
- A political community expressing a variety of views to the extent that the majority of members tolerate such expression, and questioning issues that define life today.
- A community of friends and family, enjoying companionship and seeking to improve the quality of our own and each-others' lives.
