The Drama of King Shotaway
October 5, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
$8 – $12
In a remote Greenwich Village in 1822, impresario William Brown and his all-African company defy local authorities to mount a play: a real insurrectionary drama about the indigenous Black Caribs of St. Vincent.
This will be a Black dramatic first in the Americas, but Brown and his celestials haven’t a clue they are making history by staging someone else’s history. Recommended for all ages.
- A stage reading of a play by Marvin McAllister
- Recommended for all ages
- Talkback Q&A and Reception with playwright Marvin McAllister
- Directed by Nakeisha Daniel
