Sankofa African American Theatre Company, Climate Solutions partner on new play

A collaboration between Climate Solutions & Sankofa

By Marquis Lupton

Airdate: October 24th, 2023

Sharia Benn is the President and Executive Artistic Director of Sankofa African American Theatre Company, and this weekend at the Gamut Theatre, they are putting on a two-day one-act play of “Between Hevan and Eartha: A not-so-tall tale about climate change”. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 28 and 3 p.m. Oct. 29. For tickets, visit witf.org/events.

In this new play, inspired by and created for the Climate Solutions collaboration convened by StateImpact Pennsylvania, six very different people find themselves thrown together on a stormy night in Harrisburg—the evening isn’t going to plan, but maybe that’s why things finally get real.
