The Colored Museum is a satirical exhibit of stories which illuminates race relations in America. I saw this play this weekend and it is as uproariously funny as it is thought provoking. Its different and not what you might expect. I recommend you take a night with your hubby, wifey, matey, jump-off or whomever but not the kids (“not recommended for audience members under 14”). Go ahead, enjoy the show and tell them Red Carpet Shelley sent you!
African American men and women both honor and escape the legacy of suffering that is the baggage of their past. A vaudevillian mosaic that spans over 200 years of the African American experience and celebrates African American culture, mocks stereotypes and takes a closer look at what it means to be Black in America.
