For Colored Folks: An Adaptation at Clarice Smith, Feb 1-2

For Colored Folks: An Adaptation at Clarice Smith, Feb 1-2

Saturday, February 1, 2014, 3:00pm
Saturday, February 1, 2014, 7:30pm
Sunday, February 2, 2014, 3:00pm

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center Dance Theatre.

Free admission, no tickets required.

Description: For Colored Folks: An Adaptation pays homage to innovative African American writers. Incorporating monologues, movement, dialogue, and music, the end result is a cohesive piece that reveals the similarities between people, rather than romanticizing what makes us different.

“for colored folks…” is a hybrid-performance of two choreopoems: Ntozake Shange’s for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf and Keith Antar Mason’s for black boys who have considered homicide when the streets were too much.

The end result is a cohesive choreopoem that explores love, loss, happiness, pain, and self-worth.

Funny Money by 2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse, Jan 31 – Feb 16

Funny Money by 2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse, Jan 31 – Feb 16

Comedy by Ray Cooney
Directed by Fred Nelson

2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse

January 31 – February 16, 2014

Henry, a mild mannered British CPA, accidentally picks up a briefcase full of someone else’s ill-gotten gains. He decides to keep it and fly to Barcelona to start a new life, but his wife has other plans, and before they can leave, there’s an unexpected knock at the door. The circumstances that prevent Henry from working his way out of this problem are the kinds that only a master of farce like Britain’s Ray Cooney (author of Run for Your Wife and It Runs in the Family) could create. You’ll love this hilarious comedy of errors.
