Pembroke, Langston Hughes Project

Thursday 3/22/2007
Fayetteville, NC

Join the Office of Multicultural and Minority Affairs in an evening of intellectual entertainment, as we proudly present Dr. McCurdy’s The Langston Hughes Project.

“The Langston Hughes Project - Ask Your Mama: Twelve Moods for Jazz, a masterwork written in twelve-parts by Hughes in the early 1960s. This production brought to life in a multimedia production is Langston Hughes at his best: insightful, wise, poignant, funny and soulful. On stage the audience experiences the mood of the Harlem Renaissance in this 800-line suite of poems illustrated by the spoken word, accompanied by a live quartet and the large as life visual illustrations on screen of Hughes’ world through his collaborators and contemporaries.

The work is described as a multimedia performance involving spoken word, jazz quartet and a slide presentation of images from the Harlem Renaissance. All of these components occur simultaneously.”
