Correspondence "University of Richmond Stages First All African-American Play..."
Dublin Core
Title
Correspondence "University of Richmond Stages First All African-American Play..."
Description
This correspondence from University Communications announces that the University Players and the University of Richmond’s Department of Theatre & Dance will be staging their first all African-American Play, Home on November 17-19, 2005 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, November 20, 2005 at 2 p.m. in the Alice Jepson Theatre. The “highly poetic comedy” explores the life of “the orphaned, Cephus Miles, black southern American farm boy” struggling with deaths in the family, love, his refusal to participate in the Vietnam war, and later, drugs and alcoholism when he moves to the city. Chuck Mike, associate professor of theatre, who spent much of his life living in both Nigeria and London worked as the director of the show. This “historic production” starred Stephanie Chandler, the University’s Actors’ Equity Association artist-in-residence D.J. Hopkins, and Shanea N. Taylor, a graduate student at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).
