The Museum Annex at Central Works/ Berkeley City Club

George C. Wolfe’s play The Colored Museum in 1986 imagined a series of 11 scenes, or “exhibits” in a metaphoric “museum,” where each of these exhibits addressed a range of different themes and aspects of the African American experience. The Museum Annex is an homage to Mr. Wolfe’s play, adding something of a “new wing” onto the original museum  "I wrote The Museum Annex as a comic love letter to African American women with everyone invited to listen in, engage, heal and laugh." remarks Mildred Inez Lewis.
