Spunk is a dramatic theatrical composition, composed of "Sweat," "Sto ry in Harlem Slang" and the "Gilded Six-bits," three glorious, everlasting, undeniably luxuriant short folktales created by that legendary, self-styled "Queen of the Harlem Renaissance," Zora B T . . R b" Neal Hurston. Y ncta O mson Adapted forthest age byObie Awa rd-winningplaywright Geor~e Staf{ Wnter C. Wol fe , (Th e Co 1 or ed Museum) and d1r· ector Donald Douglass, (T e Project, LAdy Soul, Fences, Hollywood Shuffle, That Serious He-man Ball, and The Killing Floor), Spunk is a rejuvenating qua li ty shared by all of H urston's characters. The p lay stars native C hicagoan Shari A. Seals, Stevie Robinson, Wanda Christine, Donald Griffin, Jonell Kenned y, Robert Barnett, and Ellis Foster. Many of the actors appear in two or all three of the tales. In her three short stories, "Sweat," "Story in Harlem Slang" and "The Gilded Six-bits," Hurston illustrates the terrible price of an abusive marriage, the empty-pocketed preening of false pride, and the solid -gold gift of a second chance. Play wrig ht George C. Wolfe does a magnificent job of blending together blues music, jazz dance, masks and puppetry, along with gifted performers to generate a celebration of speech, wisdom and humor that made Hurston such an outstand ing figu re in the Harlem Renaissance Era. Performances will continue through Sunday, May 10th, with extended performances, with ticket pricesof$18-$22. Photo courtesy of Goodman Theater PAGE 6 : · F E.A T U RES · .
