It’s for the cultural events:
The Fula From America: An African Journey
by Carlyle Brown
directed by Louise Smith
March 4-27, Thursday & Saturdays, 8pm
Tickets: $15-22 sliding scale
A solo show based on writer/performer Carlyle Brown’s own travels in West Africa. The Fula From America is the story of one African-American’s search for an African identity. Set in 1981 the traveler sets off alone on an adventurous journey that takes him through Senegal, Mali, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea and Sierra Leone. From deep bush to the corridors of the African elite he finds friendship and generosity, poverty, wondrous beauty and civil war. As his adventures unfold, he finds himself on the boundary of the African-American hyphen where the question arises: how much of him is African and how much is American? The Fula From America is a powerful and hilarious drama of homcoming, relevant to any American whose culture originates elsewhere. Surprising and heart-warming, it is both a moving cultural heritage exploration and a challenge to the politically correct ideals of the “old country.”
