2008 is an landmark year for progressive politics. Yet even still, history tells us that what happens after elections is just as important and telling as what is happening now. With After the Ballot, Freedom Train has called on several exciting playwrights to share work that talks about what nobody is talking about: Sharon Bridgforth and Andre Lancaster give a nod to past struggles: slavery and the civil rights movement respectively. To the future we have Derek Lee McPhatter and yvonne fly onakeme etaghene. and Finall, Harrison David Rivers asks why vote at all?
After The Ballot benefits Freedom Train Productions, a political theatre company that puts Black LGBT protagonists on stage. All proceeds will go toward staging Fire! New Play Festival 2008.
Benefit Host Committee Members:
Andrea E. Davis, Bryan Glover, Nicole Dennis, Andre Lancaster, Charles Long, C. Alexander Smith, and Shalva Wise
