 Mama @ Twilight
Sista Thea Bowman Theater
Oakland, CA
"What You Won't Do For Love"
Simply referring to Mama @ Twilight as a "play" would minimize the quality of the writing, undermine the significance of the content, and downplay the performance of the actors. Mama @ Twilight is insightful and emotional, but above all it is real and explores how a family deals with love, trust, infidelity, compassion and communication.
Mama @ Twilight is an outdoor theatrical stage performance written by Ayodele Nzinga, MFA, and stars two of Oakland's community activist Hunia Bradley and Adimu Madyun. We strongly encourage you to support this production, the message is one we all should hear.
The show dates are September 25-27, October 2-4 and October 9-11. Showtimes: Fri/Sat 8pm, Sun 2pm. Tickets $10, $15 and $20. For more information, please contact Ayodele Nzinga at wordslanger@gmail.com, 510-208-5651 or www.myspace.com/yardtheater |

The days of resigning ourselves to the back seat and allowing someone else to select the destination have run their course.
