Bring It On! – February 10, 2014

Play

Bev Smith and William Hosea welcome guest Dr. John McCluskey, professor emeritus of Indiana University.

PART ONE
In the post-Civil War South, three men are tied to each other by history and faith, but are also bound by secrets. A badly wounded Jewish Confederate soldier returns home at war’s end to find that his family has fled to the countryside. Remaining in the city mansion are two former slaves, also raised by his family as Jews. With Passover upon them, the three men unite to celebrate the holiday, even as they struggle to comprehend their new relationships at a crossroads of personal and national history.

The theatrical presentation of The Whipping Man stars Brandon Wentz, Wardell Julius Clark and Alfred Wilson. The performance takes place at the John Waldron Arts Center Auditorium from Feb. 7 -22. We have invited Dr. John McCluskey, professor emeritus of Indiana University to come on and recap a talk-back he led for the audience and cast members on yesterday afternoon with the actors.

PART TWO
Headline news and local calendar events of interest to the African-American community.
