Color Struck: A Play Written by Zora Neale Hurston
April 28, 2023 - April 30, 2023
Zora Neale Hurston, Florida’s award-winning writer and folklorist was associated with the Harlem Renaissance and was noted for her celebration of African American culture of the rural south. In 1925, she was the winner of three literary awards from Opportunity Magazine, including the drama award for Color Struck. The play focuses on the effects of colorism on African Americans. We are happy to announce the Florida premiere of the play in its original setting—St. Augustine!
