Field Trips
Consider attending the Speak Out event: Pistols and Prayers, 8 PM, Friday, March 19, 2010 at the Berkeley Rep. Visit http://www.speakoutnow.org/
Also I'd like to have a theatre party. I am looking at Thursday, March 18, 8 PM or Sunday, March 21, 7 PM, at Intersection for the Arts in San Francisco's Mission District. Let me know by Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 12 noon about the play. You can respond on the blog with the number of tickets for each and which dates for the play (3/18 or 3/21). If you can do both let me know. We can meet at BART in the East Bay and go together.
Visit http://www.theintersection.org/ Let me know if you are interested in either or both by tomorrow. The play is selling out. You can read my review at http://wandaspicks.com
Tickets prices will range between $10-$15 each event. Don't let finances keep you from attending. Talk to me. We might be able to make arrangements, especially for the play.
Mirrors in Every Corner
From Intersection's acclaimed resident theatre company Campo Santo and The Living Word Project (the resident theater company of Youth Speaks) comes the world premiere of Mirrors In Every Corner, written by emerging playwright Chinaka Hodge. This genre breaking and strikingly original theatre work chronicles an Oakland-based African American family alternately in the present and in 1988 after the mother gives birth to a Caucasian baby. Examining how race is lived in and through the body, this world premiere play attempts to unearth the reality and the fictive construction of race - what makes someone black, what is blackness, what is family, and what is lineage- as a family grapples with the issues of race and identity in contemporary America. The play is directed by performance innovator and the Living Word Project's Artistic Director Marc Bamuthi Joseph; and features Daveed Diggs, Margo Hall, Dwight Huntsman and Traci Tolmaire; with a score by composer and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire with original mixes by DJ Treat U Nice, and a dual visual art installation and scenic design by artist Evan Bissell; and a collaborative team of Alejandro Acosta, Ray Diaz, Ben Fisher, Tanya Orellana, Joan Osato, Kate Purnell,and Ricky Saenz.

A cultural collage of spoken word, African American folk spirituals, classical music, Hip Hop and theater, Pistols and Prayers is a celebration of the African Diaspora and its impact on urban America.
