The Rake’s Progress

Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts

Two Corners explores the friendship between Florine, a black woman, and her childhood friend Sarah, a white woman in rural Alabama during the civil rights movement. Can their friendship survive or was their friendship a part of their imagination? This one-act, multi-media production also features original choreography by Norwood Pennewell of Garth Fagan Dance. 

TWO CORNERS by B.E. Boykin

Monroe Community College Theater

MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient Rhiannon Giddens and celebrated co-composer Michael Abels bring their profoundly moving story of the human spirit to Lyric Opera of Chicago.

Inspired by the memoir of 19th-century Islamic scholar Omar ibn Said, this breathtaking work spins a musical narrative of Omar’s capture in West Africa, journey across the Atlantic Ocean, and enslavement in South Carolina, where he confronts his circumstances and challenges his faith through a series of indelible writings.
