*ENSEMBLE THEATRE PRESENTS:  *
*KNOCK ME A KISS*
*BY CHARLES SMITH*
*Directed by CAROLINE JACKSON SMITH*

*Knock Me a Kiss *is a fictional account inspired by the actual events
surrounding the 1928 marriage of W.E.B. Du Bois’s daughter Yolande to one
of Harlem’s great poets, Countee Cullen.  The marriage marked the height of
the Harlem Renaissance and was viewed as the perfect union of Negro talent
and beauty.
**Winner of  NINE 2011 AUDELCO Awards!*

*“In one blistering scene after another, **with dialogue that is
alternately highly poetic, down-and-dirty, eerily disturbing and fiercely
authoritarian, Smith exposes the lies and the blazing truths that animate
his characters.”*
