Fried Chicken and Latkes, written and performed by Rain Pryor, the daughter of the late Richard Pryor and Shelley Bonis, centers on growing up bi-racial in America. In a comic, but balanced and evocative way, the show addresses the issues of racism, elitism, anti-Semitism, sexism, and other important concerns facing our nation today.
This effervescent and hit solo show recounts her upbringing in a biracial household(her mother was Jewish) in Beverly Hills, Calif. Ms. Pryor, who sings and portrays a range of characters (including, poignantly, her father in a spot-on impression) is an ebullient performer with a robust singing voice. She lives in Baltimore now, but her outsize personality is built for Broadway!
All proceeds from the production will support Girls Inc. of the Washington DC Metro Area. Girls Inc. delivers life-changing programs that inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold so they can become women who are healthy, educated and independent!
Girls, Inc. is fully dependent upon the generosity and compassion of others to fund our work. Your sponsorship will help us reach more girls and in turn, help each one of them discover her talents, dream big dreams and build the skills that will help make those dreams come true!
The performance is part of Girls, Inc. of the Washington DC Metro Area’s Fall Benefit honoring trailblazers Roselyn Payne Epps, MD and Artis Hampshire-Cowan. The buffet reception begins at 6:00 pm followed by the performance.
