 Natural Herstory: Voices of Jamaican Women
Marcia Douglas brings seven Jamaican women to voice in NATURAL HERSTORY, her one-woman show directed by Cecilia Pang. With their struggles of poverty, motherhood, homelessness and immigration, each woman explores what it means to tell a story, break silence and catch afire. From the Chinese Jamaican shopkeeper, Mrs. Ying, to the Rastafari empress, Sistah Vaughn, these are narratives of survival and what it means to be a woman in contemporary Jamaica.
NATURAL HERSTORY has been staged at the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder, CO, and produced by the Colorado Jamaica Project as a benefit for Jamaican schoolchildren. Other venues have included the University of Colorado, Hollins University/Roanoke, VA, and California College of the Arts, San Francisco.
