The public is invited to enjoy the upcoming, and uplifting, production of “African-American Folk Tales: The Tails of Br’er Rabbit” showing Feb. 14-16 at the College of Southern Maryland’s (CSM) Fine Arts Center (FA Building), Theater. Produced by special arrangement with author and CSM Alumnus Kenneth L. Waters Jr., this comedy portrays what happens when a school teacher asks his students to act out the folktales of Br’er Rabbit.
Some members of the cast from left are Evan Simon, of Clinton, as Br’er Rabbit; Olivia Burgess, of Hughesville, as Br’er Fox; Levi Shaw, of Lexington Park as Br’er Bear; and Christian Price, of Waldorf, as Mr. Eugene Remy.
Teacher Mr. Eugene Remy thinks he has a brilliant idea during Black History Month to teach the folktales taught to him by his mother when he was a child. Through his creative method of storytelling, he divides his class into groups of three and assigns each group a story to act out and perform – with hilarious results.
You won’t want to miss how the children’s imagination comes to life as Br’er Rabbit and his crew jump off the page and onto CSM’s stage.
The show’s run time is approximately 70 minutes and is appropriate and encouraged for all ages. Mark your calendar now and plan to attend one of the following showtimes: Thursday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m.; Friday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m.; and Saturday, Feb. 16 at 2 and 7 p.m. The cost is $7 adults and seniors, $5 youth of high school age and younger.
