THE FUTURE IS FEMALE...
February 3 -19, 2023
WORLD PREMIERE COMEDY

By Nandita Shenoy
Directed by Kathryn Walsh

Featuring Hallie Bee Bard, Siho Ellsmore, Nandita Shenoy and Clara Tristan

How far would you go to protect your rights?

Set in the not-too-distant future, four women attend a feminine wellness retreat in hopes of finding solace, empowerment, and solidarity in a world increasingly hostile to females. But once there, they discover that freedom may not mean the same thing to all of them and they may not be willing to pay the price of clawing back political power. This timely satire explores a possible reaction to the rolling back of reproductive rights and its inevitable backlash.

Developed in Flint Rep’s 2022 New Works Festival

Recommended for high school students and older. Contains adult themes and language of reproductive freedom.

In this slide-show talk, Robert G. O’Meally will outline the dates and places of the Harlem Renaissance and highlight some of its major movers and shakers: W.E.B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Alain Locke, Sterling Brown. He will also give a brief overview of dance of the period, both stage choreography and social dance, but his emphasis will be on the multi-talented Josephine Baker and one of her mentors, Johnny Hudgins, an international dance star in his own time who is now virtually lost to history. The importance of Jack Johnson, that dancer in the boxing ring who became the first African American to become

Heavyweight Champion of the World will also be explored. Many Harlemites—and then Black people all over America— who never heard of Du Bois were aware that these three cultural icons had changed the course of Black cultural history forever. They were Harlem Renaissance leaders who need to be brought back to center stage.

Robert G. O’Meally is the Zora Neale Hurston Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, where he has served on the faculty for thirty years. The founder and former director of Columbia’s Center for Jazz Studies, O’Meally is the author of several publications, including Lady Day: The Many Faces of Billie Holiday and Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey. For his production of a Smithsonian record set called The Jazz Singers, he was nominated for a Grammy award. He has held Guggenheim, Cullman, and Library of Congress Fellowships, and was a recent fellow at Columbia’s new Institute for Ideas and Imagination at the Global Center/Paris.

The Sheppy Dog Fund Lecture has been established to address the topics of art, religion, and history, and is funded annually by The Sheppy Dog Fund, Dr. Alan Klein, Advisor.

THE FUTURE IS FEMALE...
February 3 -19, 2023
WORLD PREMIERE COMEDY

By Nandita Shenoy
Directed by Kathryn Walsh

Featuring Hallie Bee Bard, Siho Ellsmore, Nandita Shenoy and Clara Tristan

How far would you go to protect your rights?

Set in the not-too-distant future, four women attend a feminine wellness retreat in hopes of finding solace, empowerment, and solidarity in a world increasingly hostile to females. But once there, they discover that freedom may not mean the same thing to all of them and they may not be willing to pay the price of clawing back political power. This timely satire explores a possible reaction to the rolling back of reproductive rights and its inevitable backlash.

Developed in Flint Rep’s 2022 New Works Festival

Recommended for high school students and older. Contains adult themes and language of reproductive freedom.

What is it that makes you...YOU? Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new feature film SOUL introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22 (voice of Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions.
