I-V III - The Barber Shop A Negro civil rights demonstrator is attempting to integrate a barber shop. All other participants in the situation are whites: a barber, an assistant, two clients in the chairs, one client waiting, one police officer. All the whites are segregationists, but one of the whites in the chair is particularly rabid. The action begins when the other white is finished and gets up. It is the Negro's turn, but the head barber calls "you're next" to the waiting white client. Questions: What is the response of the Negro Client? What kinds of actions and remarks raise and lower tensions? How does the segre- gationist really see the situation? What does he really feel? What are the real issues as far as he is concerned? As far as the civil rights demonstrator is concerned? Cast: As listed above. You may add an additional on- looker white! who sympathizes with the Negro and who intervenes at a later point in the action in order to show how this will affect the situation.
