If you’re wondering what your ancestors would think about the current state of the world, artistic intellectual Amanda Seales (“Views from AmandaLand”, HBO comedy special I Be Knowin, Small Doses Book & Podcast) has got some ideas! What Would the Ancestors Say?? is a one-woman show nimbly fusing history-telling, political commentary, and characters of our cultural past. Genre-bending by design, expect the biting whimsy of George C. Wolfe's The Colored Museum combined with Anna Deavere Smith's shapeshifting style of moving through character and form all while answering questions like, “How’d The Panthers get their berets?”, “How did Clarence Thomas become a villain?” “What does Palestine have to do with Black Americans?”, “Are you the type that Harriet Tubman would shoot if she came back??” and more! Now, a written work, along with the show’s lessons, these pages include an inspiring foreword and intricate illustrations, also by Ms. Seales, along with an additional resources list for readers to further expand their knowledge of the play’s themes.
