K-State’s Ebony Theatre presents the First Annual Ebony Arts Festival. Ebony Theatre is a student organization that celebrates and promotes African-American writers, artists and performers. The festival concludes tonight with a performance by special guest artist Tanniqua-Kay Buchanan and a reading of K-State Alum (and current Luke Cage television writer) Nathan Louis Jackson’s play Sticky Traps.
Held in the Purple Masque, located under West Stadium near the Alumni Center, the Festival begins at 7 tonight Sat, Feb. 26. The festival is FREE.
The cast of Sticky Traps includes Gary Hackett III, Daijah Porchia, Jerry Jay Cranford and Jennifer Vellenga. Jackson’s play concerns religion, race and sexual orientation and their intersections in a small Kansas town.
