Colored Contradictions

Colored Contradictions, written & performed by Danny Boyd Beaty, directed by Lenora Pace, is a succession of 10 characters, exchanged rapid fire with the changing of a wig or a single costume piece. An “Intelligent Negro Valley Guy” riffs about ebonics at a cocktail party. A homeless man remembers his mama’s “Pound Cake.” A “100 Percent Queen” rants about Chelsea boys and his longing for a reasonable date. A black buppie stopped for racial profiling proclaims “Aw Hell Naw.” An elderly matron of the rural South, a Jamaican man, and a “Black Buddha” wax forth on good hair, bad hair and blonde hair. A transsexual prostitute reveals how “Snapple Made Me Cry” and a little girl in the projects plays “Kinky Head & The Three Bears.”
