Alexandria Black History Museum, 902 Wythe Street, Alexandria, VA
Saturday, November 14, 2009, 4:30 – 6:30pm

The second of SankofaSpirit’s Movies with a Mission, this groundbreaking documentary film takes a heartfelt look at the emotional journey of a group of African Americans who called it quits in the U.S. to start a new life in South Africa, chronicling 12 modern day globetrotters who have uprooted their lives in pursuit of their dreams and are finding that America is not the only land of opportunity. The film provides a candid and touching tale of sacrifice, hardship and great rewards by U.S. born citizens as they adjust to the cultural differences and combat negative perceptions that America may garners in other parts of the world. SankofaSpirit created its film series to counter the myths and negative images of people of African descent so often promoted by Hollywood.

20 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

MetroStage, 1201 N. Royal Street, Alexandria, VA
Thursday, November 19, 2009, 8 – 10pm

Good singer, great talker: That's how Roz White plays Pearl Bailey in the highly personable tribute cabaret "Pearl Bailey ... by Request." "Don't work too hard, honey," White's Bailey deadpans to a co-star midway through a characteristically winsome rendition of "Ain't She Sweet." "It's not a whole lot of money." White soft-pedals it herself, gracefully mimicking Bailey's trademark low, mellow tones while dropping wisecracks between the lyrics. The patter is nearly nonstop, with White-as-Bailey punning and joking about everything from love to footwear. (Her fancy heels are too tight: "These are just my one-hour shoes," White explains as she kicks them off for a spell.)

Tickets: $45.00 - $50.00 / 800-494-8497

Warner Theatre, 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC
Thursday, November 19, 8pm – Sunday, November 22, 2009, 8pm

In "The Clean Up Woman," a touring musical “dramedy” in which actor JD Lawrence takes on seven characters, including a 72-year-old white man. That's no easy feat, considering he's a 35-year-old African American. Oh, and three of his characters appear onstage in a single scene. Just don't try to draw comparisons between Lawrence and Tyler Perry, known for wearing multiple hats, most famously the drag role of the elderly battle-ax Madea, in his plays and movies. "In all of my interviews," Lawrence says, "people have asked me if I thought that Tyler had opened doors, and I said no. Everybody was shocked. They all looked at me like, 'Are you kidding me?' If I was a Caucasian male doing this, this would not be even mentioned in any of this. So I kind of feel it's almost a little bit insulting."

Tickets: $34.50-$52.50 / (877) 598-8696

MetroStage, 1201 N. Royal Street, Alexandria, VA
Friday, November 20, 2009, 8 – 10pm

Good singer, great talker: That's how Roz White plays Pearl Bailey in the highly personable tribute cabaret "Pearl Bailey ... by Request." "Don't work too hard, honey," White's Bailey deadpans to a co-star midway through a characteristically winsome rendition of "Ain't She Sweet." "It's not a whole lot of money." White soft-pedals it herself, gracefully mimicking Bailey's trademark low, mellow tones while dropping wisecracks between the lyrics. The patter is nearly nonstop, with White-as-Bailey punning and joking about everything from love to footwear. (Her fancy heels are too tight: "These are just my one-hour shoes," White explains as she kicks them off for a spell.)
