Smith: Ken Sarah Smith: Carmelia Bri^niey Steele: Cat Kimberley Stewart: Lainey With the 2013 CSU Theatre Arts: Marauder Pride on Stage producQon of Ain’t Misbehavin,’ we celebrate the culminaQon of Black History Month. At Central State University, African American history is kept alive in each ConvocaQon and Commencement ceremony, in each University InsQtute and faculty Senate meeQng, and in each student and colleague. The meaning of Black History Month is incomprehensible in its incalculable scope of loss and survival, suffering and determinaQon, injusQce and triumph. Black History Month is a necessary, miraculous, and insufficient event in the Qmeline of the slowly, and conQnually awakening human consciousness. Black History Month is a private meditaQon, a family celebraQon, a community acQon, a cultural grieving, healing, and hoping. Black History Month is a mirror for each person and for the global populaQon to consider its integrity. Black History Month is a chorus of voices saying, singing, shouQng, “We name ourselves!” Black History Month is a silence...laughter...a prayer...applause. Based on the original Broadway show, the CSU version of Ain’t Misbehavin’ is set in the Harlem Renaissance in the neighborhood of Sugar Hill, partly in a Co^on Clublike venue and partly outside of a Brownstone. The storyline of CSU’s Ain’t Misbehavin’ is the result of a team collaboraQon led by Vocal Music Director Christopher G. Smith (2011 CSU alum) and Director John Fleming, and features twelve performers who, accompanied by Ramon Key’s Stage Band, will carry the 30 songs in the show. Drawing from all four Colleges at CSU, the members of the cast and crew are students majoring in AccounQng (COB), Biology (CSE), CommunicaQon (CHAS), Criminal JusQce (CHAS), Early Childhood EducaQon (COE), Jazz Studies (CHAS), Manufacturing Engineering CSE), Music EducaQon (CHAS), Music Performance (CHAS), Psychology (CHAS), as well as Dr. Rose MorganWoody, Psychology faculty member, and Christopher G. Smith. ~Lee Hoffman lhoff[email protected] WHEN 8:00 PM, Friday, March 1 8:00 PM, Saturday, March 2 3:00 PM, Sunday, March 3 Don’t miss: Ain’t MisbehavinWHERE Central State University Robeson HallAuditorium TICKETS $1.00 Students w/ ID $10 General Admission
