  Come Thru for Lisa B. Thompson's Daring New Comedy, African Stew

A poignant exploration of love, class, culture, and the Black Diaspora, African Stew by Lisa B. Thompson, is a sharp and satirical comedy that brings complex relationships to the table. When an African American middle-class woman and a wealthy Nigerian immigrant announce their engagement after just six months, their families gather for a meal in Oakland. What begins as a celebration soon simmers with tension, as cultural differences, familial expectations, and questions of identity bubble to the surface.

A post-show discussion will follow the reading, offering a deeper exploration of the play's themes and significance-culminating in a joyful toast with playwright Lisa B. Thompson, whose birthday just so happens to fall on that very day!
