Thursday night I spent a long over due evenning with some old friends. We went to 7 Stages @ Little Five Points here in Altanta to see Angela's Mixtape. This performance solidified my love of the theater.

Angela's Mixtape: (taken from the website)
When the revolutions of the 70s devolve into the materialism of the 80s, a girl born into an activist family has some unanswered questions. In this musical memoir, Eisa Davis, Pulitzer Prize finalist and niece of the legendary Angela Y. Davis, reveals her struggle to shine in the shadow of an icon. A quest for personal politics told through the powerful voices of five women and a hip hop beat.

In The Red and Brown Water:
Modern beats play against mythic rhythms in this radiant story of one girl’s passage into womanhood. Celebrating the legacy of African and Caribbean folklore, Tarell Alvin McCraney’s poetic new play crafts a sexy, intoxicating portrait of a dynamic young woman named Oya. As mythic and epic as it is immediate and passionate, In the Red and Brown Water is an unforgettable evening of theatre that will introduce Atlanta audiences to one of the great new American playwrights of the 21st century.

I went to see this one a few weeks ago with a friend. I freaking loved it! Oya, Shango, Mama Moja, Lil Elegba, Ogun, and Shun (played by Carra Patterson a Georgia State University Alum). I was immersed in a fantasy reality. The songs, the performances, the CLUB SCENE! Whew! LOL! Check this one out!
