Pompano Beach Cultural Center Presents One-Woman Show ON PURPOSE
The performance is on Friday February 3, 2023, at 7pm.
Pompano Beach Cultural Center will present the one-woman show On Purpose, created and performed by renowned poet Ebony Payne-English. Onstage, she paints a vivid picture of femininity at the peak of its strength and in the pit of its vulnerability in the face of an HIV diagnosis. Told from the diverse perspectives of seven women, she weaves poems, monologue, song, rhyme, and colorful vernacular into an exceptional coming of age story. The performance is on Friday February 3, 2023, at 7pm. Tickets are $25. For more information, www.pompanobeacharts.org
"Payne-English's work is a raw and provocative take on fear, honesty, and success," said Ty Tabing, Cultural Affairs Director. "We invite you to witness her strength and amazing artistry in a live-theater setting."

Having authored a graphic novel, The Random Happenings, as well as an award-winning poetry collection, Secrets of Ma'at, Payne English has been featured in The Florida Times Union, PBS's Hometown, Derniere Vie Magazine, WJCT's First Coast Connect, and My Black Matters.
