Equity stage managers for SPUNK.
Spunk, written by Zora Neale Hurston in 1935, is an early American play with music crafted from text adapted from her 1925 short story alongside the music of the Black South. This music is based on Hurston’s vast recordings of folk tunes, spirituals, and hymns from her cultural anthropology work in rural towns, work sites, chain gangs, and places of worship and leisure.
Set in an all-Black town in Florida in the 1930s, Spunk tells the story of a tall, handsome guitar-playing stranger, who comes to town looking for work. When he falls in love with Lina, who is already married, the laws of man, the power of hoodoo, and the divinity of love all collide in this fable about the triumph of love over evil.
NB: This production is not the 1989 George C. Wolfe play of the same name, based on three Hurston short stories.
