About this event

DENISE checked all the "honorable woman" boxes: educated, celibate, active in ministry. It was supposed to bring her heavenly bliss. Instead, she's depressed and lonely.

Exhausted by the dismissal of "Black girl joy," she slips into a Sunday jazz brunch and drowns herself in bottomless mimosas. That is where she meets WAYNE (ADEYEMI), an easy-to-look-at, socially conscious man, who reveals that he practices Yoruba, an African indigenous religion (the Ifa Orisha tradition). The ever-devout Christian Denise says they can be friends, but nothing more.

Then they become more.

“Ancient Of Ways: For Colored Girls Who’ve Considered Ifa When Jesus Came Up Short” is an interfaith love story and multidisciplinary production incorporating storytelling, drumming and dance - modern, liturgical, and African.

DATES

Thurs - Sun, July 14-17

Thurs - Sun, July 21-24

Thurs - Sun, July 28-31

TIME: 7:30 PM, nightly

LOCATION: St. Agnes Hospital, 1315 Oakwood Ave, Raleigh, NC (St. Augustine’s University)

NOTE: This production will take place outside on the hallowed grounds of this historic building, "theater on the lawn". We invite guests to bring beach blankets, lawn chairs, and open minds, ready to take the ‘Colored Girl’s journey'.

To ensure the greatest level of comfort to our guests, the event will be staged on the east side of the structure at sunset. If you need specific accommodations, please email info@alexusrhone.com.

**Mature theme and language, ages 14 and older.**
