YELLOWMAN
YELLOWMAN, is a 2002 Pulitzer Prize finalist, memory play about an African-American woman who dreams of life beyond the confines of her small-town Southern upbringing and the light-skinned man whose fate is tragically intertwined with hers. The play explores the negative associations surrounding male blackness, as well as the effect these racial stereotypes have on black women. It is a story that is both heartwarming and ultimately heartbreaking; a beautifully composed play, worth standing for. Online tickets may be purchased at www.fjtheatre.com.
