To Be Young, Gifted, and Black

As an alternative to watching Othello this weekend, there is another local production that I am also willing to give you extra credit for watching.

To Be Young, Gifted, and Black by Lorraine Hansberry, the writer of A Raisin in the Sun, will be showing at Winter Haven Campus of Polk State College (16 miles from SEU: see driving directions) on the Main Stage Theater in the Fine Arts Building (see WFA on campus map).

"Opening night, March 30, will include a pre-show reception at 6:30 p.m. with a 7:30 p.m. curtain time. The play continues March 31 through April 2 at 7:30 p.m. and closes with a Sunday matinee April 3, curtain 2:30 p.m." Tickets are $8.

If you do go--which I would encourage--post a statement on your blog indicating that you watched the production in order to receive the extra credit.
