SOLO ART EXHIBIT AT
WATERTOWER THEATRE  IN ALLEN, TX. 
DURING THE PLAY "SPUNK"



SPUNK", based on the writings of famed African-American writer Nora Zeale Hurston, 
 which will run April 11 - May 4.  
"EMBRACE" 22x30" Watercolor by Barbara J. Mason
 Info about the show:  
 Spunk ' is a wild, bluesy wail - three stories by the great Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston, adapted into a staggeringly theatrical play by George C. Wolfe, who won an Obie for its 1989 off-Broadway premiere production. A trio of vignettes of African-American life in the first half of the 20th century, 'Spunk' is a raucous, charming, blues-infused look at love, revenge, jealousy, and the fine art of the hustle.



Zora Neale Hurston released her first novel,  Jonah's Gourd Vine, in 1934. Two years later, she received a Guggenheim fellowship, which allowed her to work on what would become her most famous work:  Their Eyes Were Watching God  (1937). She is considered one of the pre-eminent writers of twentieth-century African-American literature.
