By Dael Orlandersmith

Jobsite Theater's presentation of Yellowman comes to Tampa March 9-27! Finalist for the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Starring Fanni Green. A multi-character memory play about an African-American woman who dreams of life beyond the confines of her smalltown Southern upbringing and the light-skinned man whose fate is tragically intertwined with hers. The play explores the negative associations surrounding male blackness as well as the effect these racial stereotypes have on black women. Visit jobsitetheater.org for more information.

Reviews

"Sometimes I worry about the state of American theater. But ifYellowman is possible, we’re much better off than I feared. The subject may be uncomfortable; but the treatment is sublime." - Creative Loafing

"Jim Wicker and Fanni Green, directed by Karla Hartley, are riveting as childhood friends who become lovers, despite differences in skin color and socioeconomic class." - St. Pete Times

"Intense, engaging and unforgettable ... It has been quite some time since I've since acting of this caliber in the Tampa Bay area." - OnStageTampa
