African American Repertory Theater presents NEAT November 7, 2008

Tickets: $15 matinee  $20 evening

Coming in November to the DeSoto Corner Theater is AART’s production of  “NEAT” by Charlayne Woodard. 

In the oral traditions of West Africa, on a bare stage, this magnificent story spins the exquisite real life remembrance of Charlayne’s brain damaged aunt Neat, and the profound change she brought to her life.  Neat, with her enormous love, energy, simplicity and magnificent clarity, teaches the young Charlayne what it is to cherish life. A magical, compelling, portrait of a young woman’s coming of age, NEAT is the story of an urban African American girl bursting into adulthood, experiencing first love, and embracing both black pride and feminism. 

An evening of pure joy, compelling insight and hopefulness, NEAT is an inspiration for every family.  This play is described as “Powerful, heartbreaking, and beautiful.” by the New York Times.
