Columbia College Chicago – Sweet Tea
About The Performance
Based on E. Patrick Johnson’s critically acclaimed book, Sweet Tea is an oral history of Southern black gay men ranging in age from 19 to 93 that explores the relationship between blackness, sexuality and southern culture.
I saw a snippet of the show at Fire & Ink: Cotillion–and it was nothing short of fantastic. Having interviewed the men he portrays, Johnson seemed to disappear into each character.
If the performance comes to your town, you don’t want to miss it.
