The Goldfish
By Shuping Yang, Directed by Olivia Brann

Enter the mind of a Chinese son, “the golden child,” as he struggles between traditional Confucian values and Western notions of individuality. When his cousin Li Yi visits him the night before his wedding, Xiao Zhong is faced with a series of life changing decisions that will affect his family, his relationships, and his future. Is he really free? Or is he just a goldfish stuck in a bowl?

B.W.A. (Black Woman’s Anonymous)
By Whitney Geohagan and April Monu

Malcolm X once said, “The most disrespected person in America is the Black woman, the most unprotected person in America is the Black woman, the most neglected person in America is the Black woman.”

B.W.A (Black Woman’s Anonymous) explores what it means to be an African American woman in America, addressing deep-seated issues these women face.

Coffee, Tea, and Classics: Reading and Discussion Series: ‘Night, Mother
October 20, 2016 7:30pm

Parental Advisory: Recommended for high school students and above.

Delve into an intellectual reading and discussion of the classic drama ‘Night, Mother by Marsha Norman. Student director Sophie Barden will transport you to a living room and kitchen of a small house on an isolated country road. There you will meet Jessie, whose father is dead, whose loveless marriage ended in divorce, whose absent son is a petty thief and ne’er-do-well, and whose last job didn’t work out and, in general, whose life is stale and unprofitable. All of which lead her to ask her mother for her father’s service revolver and calmly announces that she intends to kill herself.

After the reading, there will be a panel discussion on suicide prevention and awareness.

This event is hosted by the BSU chapter of Alpha Psi Omega and BSU Theatre.

Fine and Performing Arts Center, Black Box Theatre, Bowie State University.
