The Falcon Theatre closes its 2021-2022 season with Spunk!, written by Zora Neale Hurston and adapted for the stage by George C. Wolfe.
The Falcon Theatre describes Spunk! as a “raucous, charming, blues-infused look at love, revenge, jealousy, and the fine art of the hustle. Hurston’s ear for vernacular and character are infused with gritty, dry wit and set to an irresistible score of rich, soulful music that carry the audience on a timeless journey through the lives of these vibrant African-American characters in the first half of the 20th century.”
Spunk! is directed by Candice Handy and features a five-person cast that includes Bryana Bentley, Jasmine Bouldin, Darryl Hilton, Jayvon Shack, and R. DeAndre Smith. Blues music will be arranged and performed by Nathan Singer of The Whiskey Shambles.
Performances are on May 20, 21, 26, 27, 28, and June 2, 3, 4, 2022. All performances are at 8:00 PM EST. Tickets prices are $25 for adults and $15 for students with ID.
