The African American Playwrights Exchange invites you to join us on Tuesday, September 11 for "THAT WORD: An Evening for Reflection" at Cafe Coco, 210 Louise Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee.
On a day when Americans now stop to remember and confront the nightmare of terrorism, this cabaret evening is a reminder that terrorism does not necessarily come from beyond and that bombs are not terrorists' only tools. In two short pieces, AAPEX writers Henry Miller and Elizabeth Davidson confront the "n" word. In her one woman show on Harriet Beecher Stowe, Davidson puts the word in it's historical context while Dr. Miller defuses THAT WORD in his highly acclaimed short comedy about two black performers and the steps they take to avoid using "that word." The two pieces will be bridged by the classic Billie Holiday song "Strange Fruit"

The event will run from 6:30 until 8 PM and is free to the public.
