Making an MPAACT
MPAACT (MAAT Production Association of Afrikan Centered Theatre) is a theatre troupe based in Chicago who notes in its mission that, "It is important to us as a company that we, in everything we do, pull from the disparate cultural elements which unite artists in the Afrikan Diaspora."
If you're a fan of films from the 1970s "blaxploitation" era, you'll definitely want to check out MPAACT's "You Know How We Deux, The Best of Blax."The play, directed by Kevin Douglas and Jonathan Keaton, is billed as "a collection of original sketch performances that are unabashedly courageous and provocative in their take on race, class, and American politics."
The last run of "You Know How We Deux" is playing this Saturday, September 12, 10pm, at The Playground Theater (3209 N. Halsted). Tickets are only $10 and are available at the box office or by calling (312) 409-6724.
