Choking Out The Kudzu (an original musical)
by Betty Ladas and Billie Colombaro
directed by Billie Colombaro
Location: Greenbelt Arts Center
April 10-26, 2015
An original work with a Greenbelt connection! Two women meet in conflict but develop a powerful bond. The super mom, Stella, gives the old lady, Bessie, the will to live. Feisty Bessie gives Stella the courage to face her fears, risk ridicule, and step into the spotlight. Along the way, laughter accompanies the struggle and tears come with pain.
ERHS Drama presents:
Aladdin and the Jinn
Location: Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt.
March 30 – April 1, 2015
ERHS Drama is thrilled to present ALADDIN AND THE JINN.
This is a unique presentation, never attempted in the history of the school. The Drama 3 (advanced acting) class has spent a full year creating an original play. They selected the fairytale of Aladdin, and decided to use an aesthetic setting of the Modern Middle East. Working as an ensemble, the students had projects incorporating advanced techniques. They then combined these projects to form an entirely original script. ALADDIN AND THE JINN is an original ensemble production, written and performed by students. Can the Palestinian Aladdin find love with the Israeli Sarai? Will the wish-granting Jinn ensnare them both?
This production is also the first performance in the brand-new Sally Wagner Performing Arts Space, a new black box theatre. The space is not finished, but is an exciting and versatile new performance venue, which will highlight the burgeoning arts department of ERHS. The space is the new home of ERHS Drama, and will be a continuing home for many future performances.
ALADDIN AND THE JINN performances are March 30, 31, and April 1st (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) at 7pm. Tickets are 5 dollars in advance (sold in school the week before) or 8 dollars at the door. The show is one hour.
Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

Story of the play: Based upon an African-American family’s dreams and experiences in the Washington Park Subdivision of Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood. It chronicles their plight as they strive to emerge from the life they currently lead to a better status. This plight encompasses dreams accomplished and dreams deferred, racial discrimination inside and outside of the African American race, the importance of love and family and growth both internal and external. This play is the backdrop to what happens next once the Younger’s move out of their current home into the play’s sequel, Clybourne Park, which just closed at GAC.

Based on the cult classic movie “Evil Dead”, which tells the story of five friends who take a vacation to a cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an army of zombies who start turning them all into demons. But it’s a musical, so there’s singing and dancing.
The “Splatter Zone” is a specially-priced seating area, right up front, where you can sit to feel the blood of the undead spray as Ash takes them on in battle.
With Steven Baird, Michael Brick, Winard Britt, Shammara Clarkson, David Colton, Heather Harris, Laura Kavinski, Shannon Riley, and Stephen Yednock.
