Kabu Okai-Davies, a playwright from Ghana, is sitting next to me in my office
right now, and wants to know venues for scripts about Africa and African-
American experience.  In August I attended "In Another Man's Name," his
brilliant play about being a Ghanaian in Newark.  The play highlighted
conflicts and resolutions between Africans and African Americans.  It was 
performed by an ensemble group out our Symphony Hall.   It is a play that
people in many other locations would enjoy seeing.  But networks for plays 
of this sort are not established as they are for many 'home-grown' scripts.
Kabu has strong support from Baraka and other playwrights in the NY region.
Do any of you know of ways that he could bring his material to the attention
of producers and directors elsewhere?  And not only his plays, but the
plays of many of his African compatriates?

Since he does not have an email account now, you may write to him at

   P. O. Box 943
   Orange, NJ 07051
   201-642-0133 office; 201-783-3059 (home)

Or if you prefer, reply to me and I will get your message to him.

Long live Africa!
