Circa 1961 in New Orleans, as the Civil Rights Movement goes into full swing, a naive debutante gets schooled by her grandmother about a family secret. We learn more circa 1800's on the Red River of Louisiana as a hidden legacy is unearthed.
You'll laugh and you'll cry from this stage play about bloodlines, sacrifice, and pride in knowing all that you are...
FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS TOPIC WILL BE PERFORMED WITH THE URGENCY OF THE CLASSICS!

"Blood Makes The Red River Flow" deals with social issues and history. Two very important events which concerned Louisiana and are mentioned in the play are the "The New Orleans Slave Revolt" circa 1811 and "The Freedom Riders" as they headed to New Orleans on buses that were firebombed in May of 1961. This play is touching and full of fun as well. A great way to learn history...
Thanks to cast member Harold Mathieu for just recently posting an article concerning the Slave Revolt.

"My mother's mother was a Wolof from Senegambia and her father was an Arab trader who traveled all over Africa and Asia making deals. It is in my blood so I should be good at making deals! Too bad my mother didn't inherit that!" Yaya. The words of one of the colorful characters in "Blood Makes The Red River Flow". Get your history lesson on in this compelling drama!

"My new play is an extension of my cultural activism to educate and build bridges. "Blood Makes The Red River Flow" is my historical drama inspired by my interviews of the Louisiana Creoles during filming of my documentary "The Descendants of Africa: Evolution of a People and Culture". It sheds light on the unique experience of not only being in a foreign country in the middle of America but a Latin American country before Louisiana became a state in 1812. It also shows the little known unique ethnic mixes comprising over three continents within the African Diaspora. It is an homage to cultural diversity, and the respect and appreciation of bloodlines!"

What a Judge of the 2011 New York Innovative Theatre Awards said about this playwright's last Off Off Broadway production "A Wound In Time" which she also produced and directed Fall 2010 at the legendary Nuyorican Poets Cafe:
Judge 1:"This was a long show 2 hours and 20 minutes. It's hard to hold an audience that long, but they did. It was a wonderful evening in the theatre and I'm delighted I had the chance to see it. I was especially glad to see such well written and acted women on stage. The story was compelling, complex, funny and the characters rich."
