221Friday, June 06, 2008 to Friday, June 06, 2008 - 7 P.M.FORGIVE ME
Written by Esther Armah
Directed by Trezana Beverley
Featuring James Gary, Jr. and Beverley Prentice

It’s over. Zachariah and Lexie go from being a couple to being single. But before it’s officially over, they have to meet at their apartment to divide the contents. As they sort through their possessions, Zachariah and Lexie reminisce about their relationship – how they met, their travels to Brazil, Zimbabwe and Kenya, their families, philosophies, and what broke down their relationship. They are more than individuals – they represent a people, their emotional history, and the emotional legacy that persists and interrupts the way people of African descent love and relate to one another. Forgive Me is a perspective on the fragmentation of a people, an exploration of the cultural conflict of Africans and African-Americans, what it might take for them to overcome, heal and love again, and why what seems like the end may ultimately reveal a more honest beginning.

And for those of you who are not able to join us I hope you will check out the CD which is available now for listening and purchasing at www.CDbaby.com, www.Amazon.com, and of course, www.lainiecooke.com

"Given the lamentable glut of recordings by female “jazz singers” who are not, when the real thing comes along one can’t help but take notice. On her second CD Lainie Cooke once again presents a program of songs that more than justifies the acclaim she has received from people who know a real “jazz singer” when they hear one. Revolving around the theme of finding and then losing love, It’s Always You contains no hype nor attitude but rather resonates with pure emoting backed by the gravitas only true life experience can endow in an artist."

201Thursday, June 14, 2007 to Thursday, June 14, 2007 - 7:00 pmCAN I BE ME
CAN I BE ME? is an emotional roller coaster of a show. It is one woman's journey from dealing with the trauma of witnessing her mother's shooting to exploring the kind of journalist she becomes. She is an addict, high on the need for approval and applause. She is a journalist whose assignments take her to South Africa and London where she faces drama, racism, self-realization and a myriad of characters, black and white, male and female, who force her to question them, challenge herself, provoke sadness and finally remind her that what she was looking for she always had. This emotional, thought-provoking, controversial play reveals a South Africa you won't have read about, goes behind the closed doors of a major British media institution, and tells a universal story about the challenges we must all face when we take a long, hard look in the mirror and decide to reveal the truth of who we are. Join CAN I BE ME? for an unforgettable ride of a one-woman show.		Museum of the City of New York New York CityFurman Theatre Rep

How will these four lost souls repopulate a post-apocalyptic planet when their fears far outweigh their faith. Playwright Akin Salawu firmly believed that art and politics never mix well until an invitation to write a play for an anti-war benefit yielded one of the most satisfying artistic experiences of his career. YOUR GOD'S NOT COMING is the startling by-product of this awakening...		Museum of the City of New York New York CityNew Heritage Theatre Group & Community Works

Singer-trumpeter-guitarist Olu Dara is a master of the blues and a legend of the free-jazz movement. Mr. Dara began his career as a blues musician at the age of seven in his hometown of Natchez, Mississippi. He later made his name on New York’s free jazz scene, playing trumpet alongside David Murray and Henry Threadgill. The father of famed rapper, Nas, Dara’s own critically acclaimed albums weave soulful dance and blues grooves through intricate changes and humorous tales. Dara brings the avant-garde home to his rural roots, but he gets down further than the American South: this sonic alchemist draws West African and Caribbean music into the mix as well. Here is an artist whose warmth and virtuosity make converts of those who discover him. We invite those who have already made this discovery, as well as those who haven’t, to an open-air concert at the Studio Museum in Harlem on April 24th.

The event will feature a pre-concert interview with Mr. Dara by Columbia professor and trombonist Bill Lowe.		Studio Museum in Harlem NYCNew Heritage Theatre Group

Singer Paula West and her Quartet
Ms. West’s fall set at the Algonquin Hotel earned rave reviews from the New York Times and was named the “Best Cabaret” show of 2006 by TimeOut New York. While often compared with Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, what most links Ms. West with these greats is her way of coaxing the blues out of any popular song. She will be bringing her signature velvety voice and soulful swing to the work of such diverse artists as Duke Ellington, Bob Dylan, and Oscar Brown, Jr. The event will initiate the Columbia/Harlem Jazz Project sponsored by Columbia’s Center for Jazz Studies and the New York State Music Fund. It is fitting that this project, which aims to bring the Columbia and Harlem communities together, should commence with an artist whose musical spirit knows no bounds. Following the concert, Columbia Professor Farah Jasmine Griffin will interview Ms. West.

A musical extravaganza featuring a jubilant trombone choir, vocalists, musicians and special guest artist, Avery Brooks (Spencer for Hire). This exciting work-in-progress by composer Craig Harris was inspired by trombone shout bands and James Weldon Johnson’s book,God's Trombones: Sermons in Verse. Johnson was one of the giants of African-American cultural history and his book pays poetic tribute to 19th century itinerant preachers. Harris's explosive score captures the rhythm and cadence of Johnson's poems. Conceived by Craig Harris Directed by Beth Herron Choreographed by Sandra L. Burton Featuring: Avery Brooks - vocals LaTanya Hall - vocals Trent A. Kendall - vocals Musicians: Craig Harris, trombone Art Barron, trombone Curtis Fowlkes, trombone Al Patterson, trombone Bob Stewart, tuba Joe Daley, euphonium Adam Klipple, keyboards Tony Lewis, drums		The Apollo Theater Soundstage HarlemNew Heritage Theatre Group & Community Works
