On Sale Now: Core Ensemble's "Ain't I A Woman!"

 

IN CELEBRATION OF WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH, WE PROUDLY PRESENT...     CORE ENSEMBLE'S "AIN'T I A WOMAN!" MARCH 12 • 6:00 PM   This chamber music theatre work for actress and trio (cello, piano & percussion) celebrates the lives and times of four significant African American women: ex-slave and fiery abolitionist Sojourner Truth, renowned novelist and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, exuberant folk artist Clementine Hunter and fervent civil rights worker Fannie Lou Hamer. The musical score is drawn from the heartfelt spirituals of the Deep South, the urban exuberance of the Jazz Age and concert music by African American composers including Diane Monroe.    This 50-minute program is hosted by the Core Ensemble, with verbal introductions to vignettes from the lives of Sojourner Truth, Zora Neale Hurston, Clementine Hunter and Fanny Lou Hamer. A question-and-answer period with the performers concludes the program.    Location: Shea Center for Performing Arts Admission: General Public $10 • WP faculty & staff $10 • WP students admitted free with ID   Buy Tickets           Sponsored by the WP Center for Diversity & Inclusion     OTHER UPCOMING EVENTS   The Robert Cray Band: Groovin' 50 Years TONIGHT - TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE February 16   Magic of Lyn February 17   70s vs 80s: A Musical Battle Featuring The Discoteks! & 80's Revolution March 1   Preservation Hall Jazz Band March 14   An Evening with Cassidy Hutchinson March 27 Going On Sale Soon   Colin Hay Live April 3   Keiko Matsui April 6   A Golden Oldies Extravaganza April 19   Coreyah April 23   Yellow Brick Road: A Tribute to Elton John May 11   Buy Tickets       Shea Center for Performing Arts | 973.720.2371 |wp-presents.org Email: boxoffice@wpunj.edu   Shea Center Box Office Hours of Operation Monday: 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Tuesday: 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Wednesday: 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Thursday: 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Friday: 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.   No refunds or exchanges.
