THE PLAY: <i><span style='font-style:italic'>The Aperture</span></i> is a new play
by Sean Christopher Lewis and the inaugural winner of the Rosa Parks Playwright
Award. <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Aperture</span></i> takes audiences
on a wild journey that explores <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place>'s
fetishizing of global turbulence, violence and race. <i><span style='font-style:
italic'>The Aperture</span></i> follows the story of a beautiful American
photographer and her unlikely subject, a former boy soldier from <st1:place
w:st="on">Africa</st1:place>. In this world premiere production, two actors
play six parts in an energetic and insightful expose.<br>
<br>

version of Shakespeare's <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Measure for Measure</span></i>.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
