Black and Bluestein March 8, 2008

Jerry Mayer’s engaging dramedy, set in 1963 St. Louis and based on a true event, explores the ripple effect in the neighborhood when a well-to-do black scientist Dan Black, wants to buy a home in an upscale, all-white mostly Jewish neighborhood from the Jewish builder, Jeff Bluestein. Bluestein always tried to be a good liberal but breaking the color barrier could break his bank account and even his marriage. It’s the perfect storm of tension, conflict, prejudice, fear of plunging home values, laugh out loud comedy and Jewish guilt.
