PRESENTS "FREEMAN" Freeman Aquila is a young black man, son of an industrious foundry worker and a practical nurse, who is trapped not so much by the color of his skin as by the complexities of his nature. Spurning the conventional routes to possible “success” in a white-dominated world, Freeman pursues an independent, freewheeling course through attempts at politics and real estate schemes only to be frustrated at every turn. The irony is that Freeman’s disturbing ambitions are curbed, not only by the local establishment, but also by his own family and friends.

Available at the door or via telephone at 412.431-0773 or by sending check or money order to P.O. Box 40102, Pittsburgh, PA 15201. Visit www.kelly-strayhorn.org for more information.
