LYRICS

Friday, August 30, 2024 @ 8pm

Set against the gritty backdrop of New

York City in 1987, "Lyrics" follows the

journey

of

young

hip-hop

artists

determined to rise above the harsh

realities of racism, abuse, and poverty.

As the crack cocaine epidemic ravages

their neighborhoods and the global

influence of hip-hop begins to swell,

these artists channel their struggles

into a powerful form of self-expression.

An original play by Winston A. Wilson

starring Jason Louder (Atlanta) **16+**

ANGRY BLACK WOMAN 101

Saturday, August 31, 2024 @ 2pm

Angry Black Woman 101 is a solo

show couched in a truthful and hurtful

work situation at a nonprofit. Kathryn

Seabron exposes how Black women

suffer through microaggressions and

are held to higher scrutiny in the

workplace, how their well-being is

never a consideration, and how white

tears

are

used

to

deflect

and

disenfranchise Black women.

Written/performed by Kathryn Seabron.
