I recently quoted from an old movie review by my playwright friend, Clinton Johnston — CJ to some of us. The first time I mentioned that review was in October 2004, at which time I described CJ as "the soon-to-be-published playwright." Well, the play that was then soon to be be published is now headed for the stage, specificially Washington, DC’s (OK, Arlington, VA’s) Charter Theatre :
 Am I Black Enough Yet?by Clinton Johnston directed by George Grant featuring Paige Hernandez, Brittney Sweeney, David Lamont Wilson, Edward Daniels, and Matthew Eisenberg
No matter who you are or where you’re from, for one night at Charter Theatre, you get to be African American. Playwright Clinton Johnston takes you on a touching, thoughtful, and hysterically funny tour of the state of Blackness in America. Don’t miss it. at Theatre on the Run [directions] April 11 – May 3, 2008. Thurs – Sat nights at 8:00 p.m. Sat. and Sun. matinees at 3:00 p.m. $25 on Fri and Sat. nights $20 all other performances Special $10 Previews: April 9 and 10 at 8:00 p.m. |
