Assistant Professor of Theatre Mark Cryer was interviewed in Newsday (1/30/05) about his play, "99 Questions You've Always Wanted to Ask an African-American but Were too Afraid to Ask for Fear They'd Break Their Foot off in Your --!" that he will perform at Nassau Community College in February. The one-man, multicharacter, multimedia play includes videos of questioners.  Cryer worked on the play with a student, Jared Johnson '02, who conducted interviews of people in New York City to arrive at the questions. The article notes: "Cryer doesn't view any question as racist, he said. '"We all have our biases, and we all have our ignorances. So when you get a question that really slaps you in the face, you have to think: If they knew better, they wouldn't have phrased it that way.'"
