Thirty-five years ago, Professor Emeritus Mical Whitaker made history on the 秋葵视频 Statesboro Campus when he directed 鈥淭he Amen Corner鈥� by James Baldwin, the first play written by an African-American playwright to be included in a Georgia Southern Theatre season. Georgia Southern Theatre鈥檚 upcoming performance of the play will celebrate Whitaker鈥檚 achievement and the Theatre and Performance Program’s history of inclusiveness. As part of the celebration, a panel of speakers will address the works of Baldwin, the integration of Georgia Southern and the role of African-American theatre on Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m. Cast members from the original Georgia Southern production and members of Georgia Southern’s The First 500 club are contributing to a display in the Black Box Theatre lobby and the Zach S. Henderson Library on Baldwin鈥檚 work and desegregation at the University. 鈥淭he Amen Corner鈥� takes place in a corner church and in the Harlem apartment of pastor Margaret Alexander, her son, David, and sister, Odessa. After giving a fiery Sunday morning sermon, Margaret is confronted by the unexpected arrival of her estranged husband, Luke, who collapses from illness shortly after his arrival in her home. Luke鈥檚 return brings about a conflict within both the church and the family as the true history of Margaret and Luke鈥檚 relationship is revealed. Baldwin broke literary ground with the exploration of racial and social issues in his many works, and 鈥淭he Amen Corner鈥� was his first time writing for theater. He is especially known for his essays on the black experience in America. 鈥淭he Amen Corner鈥� focuses on dissension between art and religion, love of others, and love of the lord. The play will run from Nov. 7 through Nov. 14, except on Nov. 12, at the Center for Art & Theatre’s Black Box Theatre. All performances will start at 7:30 p.m. except for the matinee Sunday, Nov. 11, which is at 2 p.m. Ticket prices are $12 for general admission and $6 for students, seniors and members of the military.
