Where My Girls At? its not just a song by 702, its also a one-woman play that takes a comedic looks at Black Lesbians life. No you don’t have to be black or a lesbian to enjoy this one. I took my 11year old straight daughter to see this and she loved it! I told a white college professor and his wife to go see and they laughed so hard they got stomach aches. When it ran in Oakland and SF it sold out everynight to mixed crowds who couldn’t get enough. Then Micia Mosley (the creator and star) took the play on the road. We’re happy to see her come back to the bay with her artistry and talent. On October 16th there will be a fundraiser held to help her produce the play again here in the Bay Area. Come and support, meet the artist and experience some samples of this dynamic and hillarious play.
