Photo Flash: Cleveland's Karamu House Hosts the American Premiere of THE ADVENTURES OF THE BLACK GIRL
Karamu House presents the American premiere of The Adventures of The Black Girl in Her Search for God running now through April 15, 2018. Based on the short story by George Bernard Shaw, this side-splitting comedy is written by Lisa Codrington and directed by Nina Domingue.
Based on Shaw's original short story, the play follows a young African girl who is abandoned by a white missionary for asking too many questions about God. Taking matters into her own hands, she sets off on her own to find out who-or what-God really is. Along the way she meets a number of characters who have very different views on God. In the end, she's forced to make her own decisions on God and her search.
The Adventures of the Black Girl in her Search for God was originally commissioned by The Shaw Festival, and was performed at The Court House Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake in 2016. The Toronto Star exclaimed the play is "a fast and wild voyage into Shaw's original source material that simultaneously turns it upside down."
Sponsored by KeyBank, tickets range from $15-$37 and can be reserved online via www.karamuhouse.org or by calling 216.795.7077.
