 Mulatto's Dilemma, The         Sowa's Red Gravy

Mulatto's Dilemma, The

Synopsis:
The Mulatto's Dilemma is about a bi-racial woman struggling with racism, identity, and marriage in America and Europe during the 1930s. Annique Briquet leaves the smothering conservative South for the Harlem Renaissance only to flee again to France, where her mother's white family lives. Along the way, she rejects many men, undecided as to whether she should marry black or white. The Mulatto's Dilemma delves into racial issues as deeply as it challenges the institution of marriage as a form of ownership of women

Sowa's Red Gravy

Synopsis:
Sowas Red Gravy is a play filled with humor and insight by a master storyteller of Southern folklore. The six character play with music captures the sound, heart, and fury of African-American culture. The play is similar in style and content to the works of the Harlem Renaissance writers Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes. "Sowas Red Gravy" is a play of southern mulebone folklore and unforgettable characters like Windy Willow, Sapphire and Luwana. Narrated by Sowa, a 110-year old wise woman, who resides in Harlem in quantum time, Sowa recounts her life before the emancipation and claims to have lived many lives as varied as a White Hollywood film star, an African Warrior and a Louisiana Voodoo Queen. Sowas storytelling is so captivating that you are sure to be convinced she is telling the truth and you will delight in the other characters as well.
