The Syracuse Chapter of Jack and Jill America Inc. presents the play “Cops and Robbers” at 7 p.m. Friday, March 20, and 2 p.m. Saturday, March 21, at Onondaga Community College Storer Auditorium. “Cops and Robbers” provides a look into the dysfunctional relationship between law enforcement, the media and the Black community. Centered on an officer involved shooting, writer/performer Jinho “The Piper” Ferreira takes the audience on an emotionally charged ride with unexpected twists and turns. The Piper seamlessly travels through 17 characters, each with their own convictions, logic, and prejudices. “Cops and Robbers” takes no prisoners as it challenges the viewer to question all preconceived notions of “right” and “wrong.” Ferreira is an award winning hip-hop artist and a deputy sheriff in Alameda County, California. The play has garnered national praise. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students. There will be a special audience talk-back after the Saturday, March 21, performance where audience members can discuss the themes raised in the play.
