Sunday Supper: A Day of Absence
ABOUT THE EVENT
A DAY OF ABSENCE
By Douglas Turner Ward
Uproarious emergencies occur when an imaginary Southern town is faced with the sudden and inexplicable disappearance of all its black citizens. A biting satire, this hilarious one act first presented in 1965 offers surprisingly relevant insight today. Join us for a communal meal and animated readings of classic black plays and stories performed by Penumbra Company members. A great way for the whole family to celebrate the creativity, tenacity, and sustenance of African American culture. Ages 13 and up.
