Sankofa African American Theatre Company will present "Pretty Fire" by Charlayne Woodard on weekends from Friday, July 30, through Sunday, Aug. 8. Through a partnership with Gamut Theatre Group, the production will be presented on the main stage at Gamut Theatre Group, 15 N. Fourth St., Harrisburg. Performances will take place on Fridays and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and on Sundays at 2:30 p.m.
"Pretty Fire" is directed by Lyeneal Griffin and features veteran actors from the greater Harrisburg area. These actors are Sharia Benn, Meredith Greene, Megan Ruoro, and Johntrae Williams.
On an almost bare stage, the words of Woodard weave stories of two young sisters through three generations of African American family love, struggle and triumph in their small world of Albany, N.Y., and the hilltop black town of Rosignol Hill, Ga. Griffin noted that the performance combines music, history and storytelling.
