Anthony R Page to Executive Produce a One-Act Stage Play Series
Celebrating the Power, Passion, and Perseverance of African American Women.
Celebrating the Power, Passion, and Perseverance of African American Women.
Page stated "I know each of these women professionally. So when I have been in the room with them, I have felt their power; understood their passion, and over time I have witnessed their perseverance as they each "become." What is also very telling is that they are transparent about their imperfection and pain, which is refreshing. - - Out of that came the inspiration for this edition of The Blue Series."
Social influencer and activist Kristen Black also makes her playwriting debut with DENIAL ABOUT DONNA as a fashion designer and style connoisseur Vanessa Henderson debuts with her play: FINISH THE DREAM.
Rounding out the multi-generational mix of points of view and perspective is spoken word artist Sassett West. Working professionally under the name Abstract C.I.M, she is making her theatrical debut with ABSTRACT UNVEILED: TALES OF A YOUNG, BLACK FEMALE. Her show will include a unique combination of spoken word, dance, and performance art.
Page concluded, "Almost all of the works in this 'Series' are somewhat autobiographical. So we believe not only will this be a great cultural experience, but we are crafting a show that will have a great deal of social and emotional significance. As we like this say of the 'Series', it's going to be an intimate yet epic experience."
This edition of THE BLUE SERIES is sponsored by Skin Plex Naturals and Yelani and is made possible with support from our promotional partners: Black On Purpose TV (BOP TV), The Atlanta Black Theatre Festival, Emerging Arts Atlanta, The Double Scoop, Abstract Echoes, Content Creators of Atlanta Awards and Pie Pixel Studios.
