The Minneapolis-based touring company Mixed Blood Theatre will present "African America," a play written by Warren Bowles, at 7:30 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 22 on the stage of the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center.
Admission is $12 with advance reservation (call 218-385-3339). Student admission is free.
Bring a nonperishable food item to donate to the NY Mills Food Shelf and receive a $1 discount on admission.
This play provides an insightful look at the modern African diaspora in Minnesota.
The surprising appearance of a charming, magical African leads a modern interracial couple to a better understanding and appreciation of the experience of immigrants to Minnesota from Liberia, Ethiopia, and Somalia and helps them consider how to connect with and celebrate everyone's heritage.
