Marguerite to Maya Angelou & Waiting for Lefty

In this workshop of N’Jameh Camara’s one woman play, Marguerite to Maya Angelou: A Moment In Prose we follow a young woman as she struggles to form her identity by battling the trials, traumas and tribulations of her past and witness how these battles guide her to the empowered path that allowed her to emerge as the inspirational leader she was.

In Waiting for Lefty, we share Odets’s 1935 classic tale of thousands of New York City cab drivers fighting for their rights and echoing the complicated politics surrounding labor unions today. Join us in an Oakland auto-repair shop and put some fire in your belly as we celebrate Odets’s fighting words and our cultural memory of what it means to fight for human dignity.
