SUMMARY:Mfoniso Udofia's Sojourners | Pop-up with The Huntington Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Prior Presents 2024–25 with The Huntington Theatre\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Mfoniso Udofia’s Sojourners\n			\n				RSVP: Tue Nov 19\, 2024 @ 7:00 PM\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nWith Sojourners\, the first chapter in her sweeping Ufot Cycle\, nationally acclaimed playwright Mfoniso Udofia explores the collision of marriage\, migration\, and the pursuit of education. Set in 1978\, this lively\, funny play centers on a young and brilliant Nigerian couple arrives in Houston\, looking to earn their degrees and bring insights back to their home country. But when Abasiama discovers that her husband has been seduced by Motown records and American culture\, she has to choose between the Nigerian Dream and her obligations as a matriarch.  \nUdofia draws inspiration for the nine-play Ufot Cycle from her time growing up in Southbridge\, MA and from meeting playwright August Wilson at Boston’s Huntington Theatre. The Prior is thrilled to partner with the Huntington on this pop-up event\, which brings the company’s full production of Sojourners to Holy Cross.  \nUdofia’s plays have previously been produced at New York Theatre Workshop\, American Conservatory Theater\, the Playwrights Realm\, the Boston Court\, and more. She also writes and produces for film and television\, including on “Lessons in Chemistry\,” “Let the Right One In\,” and “A League of Their Own.” \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nContent Advisory\nThis performance includes a content advisory.
