Gwynedd Mercy University will mark Black History Month by presenting this world-renowned Afro-Cuban all female ensemble, ZapOte! New York City-based bassist, Conguera, and singer-songwriter Dawn Drake lead this Global Groove ensemble ZapOte, which breaks down cultural barriers by incorporating everything from Afro-Cuban jazz to hip-hop to samba into a soul-shaking mix. Deep bass grooves and swinging horn lines provide a danceable backdrop for Drake’s socially conscious lyrics, which impart messages of universal consciousness, empowerment, and compassion.
This year’s Readers’ Theater presentation is a comedy about an octogenarian who no one bothers with until she wins $450 million in the lottery. Her friends and relatives try every trick to wrench the fortune from this poor soul. For mature audiences only.
