Theatre Wesleyan presents Portraits In Black

Classic comedy-tragedy theater masks

Portraits In Black, a collection of scenes and monologues on the Black experience by Gus Edwards, will conclude Theatre Wesleyan’s Six Plays At Six Feet semester of fall programming Nov. 20-22.

The production will be presented at the Thad Smotherman Theatre at Texas Wesleyan University, 1205 Binkley St., and available as a live stream for audience members who wish to experience the show from their home.

Edwards’s collection of monologues on Black life is written in a voice that reflects the modern African American experience.
Professor of theatre and associate dean of freshmen Joe Allen Brown will direct the production with D. Wambui Richardson, artistic director of Fort Worth’s Jubilee Theatre, serving as a cultural and artistic advisor.
Faculty, staff, and students, as well as audience members who attend Portraits In Black will adhere to local social distancing guidelines.
