Oceanside Theatre Company presents Stranger Sings
Oceanside Theatre Company presents Manny and The Wise Queens
December 6 – 22
Oceanside Theatre Company presents the first full staging of Manny and the Wise Queens by Idris Goodwin December 6 to December 22, introducing audiences to the small town of Bethlehem, U.SA., where a bright star draws distant visitors to usher in a new era one December night in 2020. The gift-bearing travelers find themselves in the attic of Manny, a depressed recent high school graduate, who has locked himself away to escape the remnants of holiday cheer in his quarantined town. Luckily, the sudden arrival of the two wise queens provides a potential key to Manny’s deliverance in this comedic celebration of home, hip-hop and unexpected gifts.
Goodwin’s critically acclaimed plays, including And In This Corner Cassius Clay, How We Got On, and Hype Man: A Break Beat Play, are widely produced across the country at professional theaters, college campuses, and non-traditional spaces. He’s been honored with developmental support from The Kennedy Center, The Eugene O’Neill Conference, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Arena Stage, and The Playwrights’ Center.
The Brooks Theatre is located at 217 N Coast Highway, Oceanside. www.oceansidetheatre.org
