The Robey Theatre Company will present a staged reading of a new play, Harambee! Harambee! (All Pull Together) on Sunday, January 15, 2023 at 3:00 p.m.
The story: Now that the pandemic travel restrictions are lifted, Professor Peter Agu is back in the US after an 18-month sabbatical in Ghana, with his new Ghanaian bride. His goal is to incorporate in his daily lessons of American history at a university in Southern California the crimes against humanity, especially the Black population, and introduce the seven guiding principles of Kwanzaa in an attempt to begin to change the world's negative narrative. But without tenure the concern is his job may be in jeopardy by teaching what is considered Critical Race Theory. Despite warnings from the school administration and the rising tensions and hostilities among the diverse students, he introduces Kwanzaa values and continues to challenge them addressing current world social injustice and amplifying Black awareness. Some fiercely resist and are not ready for the ugly truth and a possible solution, but when the class is hit with a tragedy all bets are off and all are”WOKE”.
The Robey Theatre Company Artistic Director and Co-Founder Ben Guillory directs a cast of the Company’s actors.
Marie Lemelle is the playwright.
