Last weekend, Theatre Morgan launched their 2016-2017
season with two one-act plays: Dutchman by Imanu Baraka and The Last
Revolutionary by Levy Lee Simon.
Let me encourage you to come out and enjoy an evening at the theatre! In the words of Director Phillip Burgess:
“Dutchman
and The Last Revolutionary tell the stories of the journey of the Black
man in America Pre and Post signing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964.
In Dutchman, Clay is a bright-eyed college student ready to take on the
world when he encounters Lula, a temptress who lures Clay into a
classic game of cat and mouse that ultimately leads to Clay’s demise.
Fifty years later we see Mac and Jack in 2013 where they have enjoyed
the “freedoms”of the signing of the Civil Rights act. They both take
clearly different paths to get to manhood but ultimately they realize
they must unite and ”arm” themselves and fight TOGETHER, if they are to
win the battle.”
I
attended the opening night production and truly enjoyed both dramas. This Sunday’s 3PM matinee
performance is the last show. Come out and support Theatre Morgan!
Best,
EC
