Incoming Artistic Director Jamil Jude and True Colors Theatre Company are thrilled to announce the 2019 – 2020 season, dubbed “She Griots.” The three productions of this 17th season focus on strong women playwrights, storytellers, historians and leaders of various generations.
At the start of the 1986 school year, Paulina, reigning queen bee of the Aburi Boarding School, has her sights set on winning the Miss Ghana Pageant and ultimately, the Miss Global Universe Pageant. When American transfer student Erica arrives and threatens her position atop her hive-minded friends, the power struggle begins.
We invite you to join us in celebrating She Griots! Our 2019-20 season has celebrated a number of well-known and lesser-known She Griots throughout history, but the legacy of these phenomenal women lives on through all of us. Their stories inspire us to make a difference and boldly pursue our dreams.
Many of the people throughout history who have shaped the past have unfortunately been forgotten. Whether lost through relevance, repression, or ignorance, our sheroes deserve to be celebrated with the memories that keep them alive.
