Art Imitates Life
This is the final weekend to see "Zooman and the Sign," Charles Fuller's play that explores the confrontation between a family and their neighbors after their young daughter is shot and killed while playing on the front porch. This 1980 Obie Award-winning work remains timely and compelling, and this adaptation – set in Washington, DC – illustrates how violence and indifference continue to destroy our own neighborhoods and communities.
The final evening performances (with strong language used) are Friday, Nov. 19, and Saturday, Nov. 20, at 7:30 p.m. A matinee (without strong language) is Saturday, Nov. 20, at 3 p.m. General admission is $10; the price for students and seniors is $5. Group rates are available. "Zooman" is presented by the University of the District of Columbia Theater Company in the UDC auditorium (Building 46; Van Ness-UDC Metro). For more information, contact Prof. Judith Baldinger at 202/274-5749.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
