Joe’s Movement Emporium will broadcast a live reading of a Maryland writer’s science fiction play this coming Friday.
In partnership with the University of Maryland’s Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, the Mount Rainier performing arts studio will stream “The Final Genocide” by Upper Marlboro writer-director Dominic Anthony Green.
Set in the year 2093, the play centers on a young Black man named Davu as he meets androids in a futuristic African-American history museum who re-enact the stories of the people who came before exploring the possibilities and dangers faced by black men in the United States.
Green, a writer, director and photographer, said the show was inspired by his interests in spirituality, mythology, comic books and science fiction.
Tickets for the show, which is pay-what-you-can, begin at $5. It will be live-streamed on YouTube at 7 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 15.
