This past Sunday we traveled to New York to see Maafa Suite. This show was primarily to help bring about some more African American pride. It took place in Brooklyn at a Baptist church (St. Paul's). It started off with a high-energy pace, different (but good!) music, and a group of talented people. This is a yearly production that church puts on and it is never the same twice.
We entered the church (yes, a church and it was the same ol' set up any church would have), and were sat in the back right hand corner. As we walked in we witnessed screaming and begging of younger characters within the show. It was a unique experience and set the mood for the beginning of the production. The opening scenes were quite amusing but the show eventually got more dull... Not that they didn't provide a lot of relevant, good information I feel like they could've compacted it more and still gotten the same point across.
Overall, it was a long tiring night... But! It was worth it to catch a glimpse into another culture's view on history. :)
Moravian First Year Seminars in NYC
Throughout the fall semester of 2011, Moravian College students enrolled in the first-year seminars "The Great Museums of New York" and "Broadway and Beyond: NYC Plays, Players, and Playwrights" will reflect here on what they've learned as they have traveled throughout New York City.
