"There will be a time comin'
when you are not a slave.

You will go to school, ride a riverboat.
This time is upon us.

Remember the eyes follow the heart,
over the edge of what we cannot see.
Into the darkness of what we can only know."

--Celia in Barbara Seyda's Celia, A Slave  

 

 

     In a little over a week, we open this extraordinary play. 

     Join us at The Rogue on this Saturday September 2 for what will

surely be a fascinating afternoon with Playwright Barbara Seyda and Drs. Stephanie Troutman and Kevin Byrne from UA Africana Studies.
