On Wednesday, October 22, the Rockford University Forum Series will present “Voices: Men and Women of Africa and America.” Beginning at 7:00 p.m., the event will take place in Maddox Theatre.

African and American playwrights in the 20th and 21st century have shared stories of the black experience on two continents and found the binding connection to all of humanity seeking strength, dignity, and purpose. Under the direction of Dorothy Paige-Turner, the Rockford Reader’s Theatre will present selections from the works of August Wilson, Athol Fugard, Lynn Nottage, Efua Sutherland, and many others. Giving voice to these writers will be George Davis, Richard Meeks, Jacquelyn Rogers, Wendell Thompson, Carl L. Towns, Coleen Martin Williams, and Janet Wright, in addition to Dorothy Paige-Turner.
