BROWN GALS RISING is here!!! The poetry of becoming …
Celebrating the 20th Anniversary since Production in New York City, BROWN GALS RISING, by CeCelia Antoinette is available in paperback, ebook, kindle and promotional dvd. BROWN GALS RISING is a life-time of poetry, developed and produced as a choreopoem, and now published as a book. BGR is the poetry of investigating and celebrating self and the 5 different aspects of one woman.
Brown Gals Rising is an excellent play. A choreopoem by CeCelia Antoinette, it leaves no prisoners in its examination of problems that beset the African-American family. And it offers bold solutions, says Yusef Salaam of the New York Amsterdam News.
CeCelia, CeCe as most call her, is a product of Dallas, TX, being raised in Hamilton Park, the first neighborhood built from the ground up for Black families there. She has a B.A. from the University of Oklahoma, state of the maternal side of her family. And she spent her adult life in New York City performing on Broadway and on regional and international stages. Her career spans TV, film and commercials. http://amazon.
Irma P. Hall contributed the original Foreward Poem to BROWN GALS RISING. Irma played CeCes grandmother in a Dallas production of Black Girl with CeCes mother, Naomi Bruton (for whom the Main Auditorium of the Black Academy of Arts & Letters is named), playing her mother. Irma and CeCelia also starred in For Colored Girls at Theatre Three together. Irma P. Hall is the star of Lady Killers, A Lesson Before Dying, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and Soul Food.
