In the Red and Brown Water October 13, 2012

The Fountain Theatre has extended the Los Angeles premiere of Tarell Alvin McCraney’s lusciously theatrical and boldly original In the Red and Brown Water through the end of February, in honor of Black History Month. Performances will continue through December 16 as previously scheduled, then resume on January 5 for an additional eight weeks through February 24. Lyrically weaving together elements of urban contemporary realism with West African mysticism, In the Red and Brown Water tells the tale of Oya, who can run faster than anyone—but not fast enough to escape her destiny. Her journey from the promise of youth to the complicated yearnings of womanhood is joyous, raucous, raw and brazenly beautiful. Oct 13 – Feb 24; The Fountain Theatre, 5060 Fountain Avenue (at Normandie), Los Angeles, CA 90029; $30-$34; (323) 663-1525; www.FountainTheatre.com.
