Dramatic history: “10 Perfect,” a new one-man show about the only known survivor of a lynching in U.S. history, will be performed at Logan’s Caine Lyric Theatre as a special event that’s part of the Old Lyric Repertory Company summer stock season.
The show, which contains adult language and content, will be performed by Patrick Sims, a visiting director at Utah State University’s Old Lyric Repertory Company and an assistant professor of theater at University of Wisconsin-Madison. The fictional work is about a black boy and a white boy, raised in Northern Klu Klux Klan territory, whose childhood friendship is ripped apart in August 1938. “10 Perfect” was inspired by the life of James Cameron, a lynching survivor Sims met in 1998.
