From February 2025 to February 2025 • 0 year(s) ZORA! A PLAY BY LAURENCE HOLDER STARS ANTONIA BADON Zora is a one-woman play that tells the inspiring story of Zora Neale Hurston, one of the most influential African American writers of the 20th century. Through 19 character portrayals, 15 wardrobe changes, 15 authentic voices, and 15 music transitions, Antonia Badon brings to life the extraordinary journey of a small-town southern girl who defied the odds to become a literary legend. The play begins with Zora's humble beginnings in Eatonville, Florida, where she grew up in poverty and struggled to receive an education. Despite the financial hardships, Zora's passion for learning and writing fueled her ambition, and she made the bold decision to move to Harlem in 1925 with only $1.50 and a dream. Zora's time in Harlem marked the birth of the Roaring Twenties, a time of artistic and cultural revolution for African Americans. Through her studies at Barnard College and Columbia University, Zora became a key figure in the literary movement, and her contributions to the Harlem Renaissance helped shape the future of African American literature. The play also highlights Zora's travels throughout the Gulf Coast, where she immersed herself in the cultures and traditions of the people she met. Through her vivid storytelling and ethnographic research, Zora captured the essence of the African American experience and paved the way for future generations of writers. Zora is a captivating portrayal of a literary icon who transcends time and place. Antonia Badon's powerful performance brings Zora's story to life, allowing the audience to witness her extraordinary transformation from a small-town girl to a literary genius. This one-hour and twenty-minute performance is a must-see for anyone interested in the life and legacy of Zora Neale Hurston. |
