New Performance Piece by Angela Counts Premieres at Arts Night on Feb. 17


“When Shall We Overcome” Black History in 28 Days? (...29 if it's a Leap Year?).

It’s enough to make a girl wanna smoke a cigarette!

It’s 2007 and Abari thinks it high time she come down from the Mountaintop and hip ya’ll on some Black History you won’t find in school books or on PBS.

“Talk to the Hand” features alter ego, Abari and other characters in a collage of empowering stories, poetry and monologues full of laughter and the absurdity of life!

Saturday, February 17th - Doors open 7PM

Boston Baha'i Center. 595 Albany Street. Boston, MA 02118. $5.00 suggested donation at door. For further information about Angela Counts and “Talk to the Hand” please visit: http://www.dissonanceresolved.com/artsnight/angela_counts.html
