To Be Young, Gifted and black May 24, 2009

This is a heart-warming motivational play based on the life and writings of Lorraine Hannsberry. it is a portrait in her own words based on her experiences and the characters she creates. It is a celebration of one writer's view of the human spirit. Her view is told through a series of scences, monologues, singing and dancing. The story belongs to this black woman from Chicago that moved to New Yrok and won fame from her first play, the now classic- A Raisin in the Sun.

Our production is a lively interpretation and dares to celebrate the work of this literary giant and her contribution to the American Theatre. The story is told by children, teenagers, and adults.

This is a must see production that helps one understand the true meaning of what it is To Be Young, Gifted and Black!
