Andrea J. Fulton's ONE DROP to Offer Free Performances in Brooklyn
Veteran playwright Andrea J. Fulton's play ONE DROP will get 2 free performances in February in Brooklyn on Sat. 2/13 at 7pm at the Weeksville Heritage Center (158 Buffalo Avenue) and on Sat. 2/20 at 7pm at the PE Gorman Community Center (1381 Linden Blvd). In ONE DROP, welcome to the world of Charley Cade, a mulatto whose story in 1800's Louisiana is told by a multi-cultural cast and a small, live idiosyncratic band. His journey is one where triumph reigns despite power, love, faith and fear colliding all because of the color of his skin.
The performances are produced by the Weeksville Society, Nia Theatrical Production Company and the Fulton Arts Foundation. Admission to both events is FREE as a result of generous grants from Council Member Darlene Mealy, the Weeksville Society & Friends of Nia.
The cast features Ricon Wrenn, Chaunice L. Chapman, Jonathan Swain, Ben Rowe, Kristen Seavey, Mark Solari, Krista Jamison, Denise Fair-Grant, Illona S. Dixon & DaisyLee Sprauve.
The creative team includes Sabura Rashid (Director & Dramturg), Illona S. Dixon (Musical Director), Damian "DJ" Shaw (Costume Design) & Melissa Diaz (Stage Manager). The musicians for the shows are Bria Barfield, Guy Barfield, Jason Stein & Bremman Burgos.
