A dramatic reading based on the oral histories collected in
Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South--An Oral History,
written by E. Patrick Johnson. The oral histories are from
black gay men who were born, raised, and continue to live in
the South and range in age from 19 to 93. This performance
covers the following topics: coming of age in the South,
religon, sex, transgenderism, love stories, and coming out.
Johnson embodies these and others' stories in the show. A
question and answer session will be held after the performance.
