CROWNS

   1930's

5 Ex-Slaves

January 1, 1863

+ 10 Unforgettable Characters

A tapestry of American memories-

humor, passion and anger!

"Firsthand memories of former slaves, recorded in the late 1930's under the Federal Writer's Project, form the basis [of this] moving evocation of shared servitude." N.Y. Times.

"The show, which is a collage of song, dance and dialogue, deals with the collective Black experience from pre Civil War days on. It describes the horrors, of course, but also takes account of the humor. . . . Do Lord is like a vivid etching come briefly to life." N.Y. Daily News.
