Synopsis

Like Ntozake Shange’s world-renowned choreopoem for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf , From Okra to Greens serves a melodious bowl of soulfully cooked poetry, music and dance, blending in both choreopoem and musical theatre seasoning.

It is a reminder of the importance of teaching the history of a people, honoring the indigenous people of the lands in which we plant our feet, and allowing love – in its purest form – to flourish.

At times funny, at times poignant, but always exciting and entertaining, From Okra to Greens is a different kind of love story.
