Black Crown at the Bowie CPA, Sep 8

Black Crown at the Bowie Bowie Center for the Performing Arts, Sep 8

The Shelby Baggott Company presents:
Black Crown
Saturday, September 8, 2018 at 7:30pm

Location: Bowie Center for the Performing Arts.

Black Crown was written to inspire youth to reach their full potential and to prevent acts of domestic violence. This play was inspired by NeShante Davis and Chloe Davis-Green whose lives were taken in a grievous act of domestic violence. We intend for this play to serve as a domestic violence prevention tool by educating spectators to identify toxic relationships. The death of this Bowie State alumnae and her toddler impacted Bowie State University, as well as the Prince George’s County community. This county needs emotional healing that only the arts can provide. We plan to use this theatrical platform to create social change in honor of NeShante Davis and Chloe Davis-Green.

Tickets: $25. Click here.

A Piece of My Heart provides an absorbing and moving experience about a tumultuous period in American history—the Vietnam War. It is a powerful, true drama about six women who went to Vietnam: five nurses and a country western singer booked by an unscrupulous agent to entertain the troops. The play portrays the courageous story of each young woman as she struggles through the experiences that leave scars yet triumphs as a result of their tour through the war-torn nation. With the backdrop of the memorial wall in Washington, A Piece of My Heart is a salute to the men and women who represented our country during a divisive era.

Rasheeda Speaking
by Joel Drake Johnson

Seeking: DOCTOR WILLIAMS: mid 40s-early 60s. White male. Charming, charismatic, a favorite among his patients. Loves being the boss. Hides his irritation and discomfort with Jaclyn behind a smile. Wants Jaclyn fired because he doesn’t like her attitude but knows he has no legal ground to do so. Uses Ileen’s adoration of him to manage and manipulate her relationship with Jaclyn.

ROSE SAUNDERS: late 60s-70s. A long-time patient of Dr. Williams. Feeble. Is offered a wheelchair but declines. Sweet and grandmotherly. There is no indication of her ethnicity in the script, but based on her dialogue she is most likely not black.
