"More Plot Twists..."


Emergence Community Arts Collective (ECAC)
733 Euclid Street NW
Washington, DC 20001

This Sunday December 6th, 2015 from 2pm - 5pm, Brave Soul Collective (BSC) marks its nine year anniversary and presents its final production of 2015 with “ More Plot Twists...” an afternoon of entertainment, discussion, healing and celebration.

Much like the original production "Plot Twists" - (which was presented as part of this year's DC Black Theatre Festival in June at The Undercroft Theater), “More Plot Twists…” touches on a host of hot button issues, including: relationships, sex, gender identity, racism, family, and religion - all within the scope of life “&…the unknown”.

The dynamic cast of "More Plot Twists..." includes performances by; Thembi Duncan, Kandace Foreman, Josette Marina Murray, Jared Shamberger, & BSC Founder Monte J. Wolfe. The exciting afternoon of theatre (which will also include an interactive workshop and discussion with the artists and the audience) features a combination of dramatic & comedic monologues, short scenes and staged readings written & directed by playwrights – Stanley Z Freeman, Josette Marina Murray, Jared Shamberger, and Alan Sharpe.

Doors will open to the public at 2pm, and the performance segment of the program will begin at 3pm, to be followed by the workshop/discussion with the cast & audience. We'll finish off with some exciting news for 2016, and a great big celebration of 9 years of "Breaking The Silence, Building Bridges, and Bringin Light 2 The Truth"!

Emergence Community Arts Collective (ECA Collective) - is located at 733 Euclid Street NW - right near Howard University's School of Business (off Georgia Avenue). ECA Collective is easily accessible by metro at the Shaw Howard & U Street Cardozo Metro Stations on the Green & Yellow Lines.

“Colorful demonstrations and weekend marches are vital but alone are not powerful enough to stop wars. Wars will be stopped only when soldiers refuse to fight, when workers refuse to load weapons onto ships and aircraft, when people boycott the economic outposts of Empire that are strung across the globe. ” ― Arundhati Roy
