The Negro Ensemble Company will begin their Classic Playreading Series with Eden.
Hosted by Tony-nominated playwright Leslie Lee, Eden, written by Steve Carter and directed by Barbara Montgomery, is the impassioned story of a black man from the South who falls in love with a young Jamaican woman. The young woman's strict father doesn't approve of the relationship because he's convinced that American blacks, especially those from the rural south, are vastly inferior to Caribbean blacks. Eden is the first of a trilogy of plays featuring Caribbean families in New York City.
Take Note!
Friday, March 28th through May 4th at 7:30pm: The Negro Ensemble Company performs WEBEIME written by Layon Gray. WEBEIME is the portrayal of one man's coming to terms with the repercussions of the decisions that he has made in life before the inevitable happens. With little time on his side, he searches his soul for inner peace and his mind wanders back down the road that put him in his current predicament. A beautifully-written story, WEBEIME takes its audience on a journey filled with emotional ebbs and flows that eventually leads to a dramatic climax sure to move even the most stoic audience.
Don't Forget: A Day in the Life fine art exhibition. A collection of works that together portray the historic and contemporary African-American experience. On view at HSA in the G-Space through April 4th.
