[NEohioPAL] Straight Yellow Jacket at New African Theater

[michael oatman]

THE
NEW AFRICAN THEATER TO PREMIERE NEW WORK ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS

 

      The New African Theater, at Garden Valley
Neighborhood House, is proud to present Straight
Yellow Jacket, by Minneapolis playwright Maxie Rockymore.  The play will be produced in observance of
Mental Health Awareness Month in May.  This
thought-provoking piece follows the plight of Nina, an up and coming African
American fashion designer, who finds herself trapped inside the mental health
system.  Nina is forced to confront her
demons, her crumbling relationship with her mother, failed past relationships,
and ultimately herself.  This emotional
sojourn into the recesses of the human mind is an uplifting, soul-shaking
experience not to be missed.  Ms. Rockymore
has penned a crisp fast moving narrative which covers issues such as low
self-esteem, sexual assault, domestic abuse, racism, and difficult family
dynamics.   SHOW DATES:

Thursday, May 1st,
8pm – Friday, May 2nd, 8pm – Saturday, May 3rd, 8pm – Sunday,
