Director's Notes:
Welcome to the first production of Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre's Summertime Season! OBAMA-OLOGY is the perfect production to open the season with. It's a show that is fast, funny, and full of heart. It takes us back to the 2008 presidential race. For many people 2008 was a time of excitement, anticipation, and hope for the future. No matter your politics or your feelings about Obama's political platform, you can't deny that he represented change and presented an alternative way for many people to look at and consider what it is to be Black/African-American in America. He was (and is) proof that Blackness can be expressed in many different ways and that we as Blacks/African-Americans come in all different shades. We are not a monolith. We are a myriad of elements that make up a beautiful complex masterpiece. As one character in the show states, "If we're going to work together, we have to embrace as many different shades of us as possible." Ain't that the truth!
Enjoy the show!
