DESCRIPTION:(Stephanie Johnson, director and light design). Occupied by a small 
 orchestra of blues and jazz, Mrs. Pat's House jumps with dance. This safe 
 haven known as "A Brothel" brings life and magic to the neighborhood and 
 the occupants.\n \nSet in a African-American neighborhood in the mid 1930s, 
 Mrs. Pat's House is testimony to the economical and social alienation of 
 woman and people of color. The play performed by Jovelyn Richards, along 
 with a live band, will make you laugh and cry. Mrs. Pat’s House is the 
 third of Jovelyn’s Nappy Headed Love Stories. \n \nWriter and solo 
 performance artist Jovelyn Richards, MFA, is also a stand-up comedian, 
 professional storyteller, and guest lecturer. She was a co-producer for 
 KPFA 94.1 Women’s Magazine where she hosted a weekly commentary on 
 mainstream media, called Welcome to Jovelyn’s World.\n \nShe is co-author 
 of the novel The Onion that won the Digest Merit Award; author of Raising 
 Autumn Colored Babies; Beyond Vanity; and various other published works. 
 Her written and stage performances include, The Diaries of Aunt Jemima; 
 Harlem Nights; Flowers Cut in a vase and Dying; and Pussy Will Sell a Lot 
 Longer than Cotton Any Day. She received the Playwright Center of 
 Minnesota’s, Many Voices Award in 1993 and 1997, and the Intermediate 
 Arts’ Artist of Color Award in 1995 and 1998, awarded funding from the 
 Zellerbach foundation for her recent work ‘ Come Home’ which premiered 
 at The Marsh and ran for 5 weeks this year.\n \n“Jovelyn Richards is the 
 kind of mesmerizing storyteller that can draw an audience’s senses into 
 the palm of her hand moments after she steps onstage.” –Megan Ma, San 
 Francisco Bay Guardian\n\nTickets: $12 advance; $15 at door\n
