The New Season
I am a little late but the season is in full swing. I will be talking about the many events that are happening and will be happening over the next few months.
Right now Cheryl L. West's play, Pullman Porter Blues is going strong at the Seattle Rep and is getting great reviews. It will be there until October 28, so check it out.
Mercedes Nicole's Tribute to the Late Great Etta James will happen this Saturday, at The Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center. Get ticket at Brown Paper Tickets.
The Reggie Goings Quartet will be at Tula's for the Seattle Jazz Offering First Sunday Concert from 3 pm - 7 pm. Jazz Diva Debbie Cavitt is expected to sing a couple of songs around 5 to 5:15 pm.
Finally this evening, I attended "Our Roots Are Showing", which was a series of readings of work by four African-American women writers at the Northwest African American Museum that was a part of the Mahogany Project of ARTS Crush. The event was produced and hosted by Sharon N. Williams. Merri Ann Osborne, Adilla Scott, Qadriyyah Shabazz and Sandra Boas-Dupree were the featured authors. It was an outstanding performance and evening with a collection of extremely talented artist. The next presentation of The Mahogany Project will be "Circles of Life" written and performed by Sharon N. Williams herself on Friday, October 19 at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center at 7 pm. IT will be FREE.
