[THEATRE]
Princess Dragon Productions Presents: Mama Juggs: Three Generations Healing Fractured Body Images
Written and performed by ‘rie Shontel, Mama Juggs is a powerful monologue in four parts about female body awareness. Each character-- Teen Anita (age 17), Maternal Anita (age 27), Mable-Marie (age 47); and Suga Babe, (age 100) - will transport the audience into an intimate view of a woman's body image. Collectively, they face breast cancer, late puberty, old age, and breast feeding in their Oakland Housing Project living room. Throughout the show ‘rie sings original acapella breast-feeding songs passed down from her great-grandmother Suga Babe. This compelling show portrays how cultural taboos led to discovering identity and hope in her family.

Stage Hands Performing Arts Presents: Kimberly Akimbo by David Lindsay-Abaire
Getting through high school is hard enough - even if you look more like the lunch ladies than your classmates. That's Kimberly's problem, the 16-year-old title character who's saddled with a disease that makes her age at four and a half times the normal rate. For her family to assuage their fear of losing her, they "start over again" by having another baby and moving away...however, they seem to have forgotten that Kimberly's not dead yet. Directed by Kestrel Heights School student Sean Pollock.
