There are several exciting events now on  at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts. Let’s support our budding artists!

School of Drama presents its major production: COLOURED GIRLS Director – Trevor Nairne Coloured Girls emerged from the black militant-didactic confrontationist period of the 1960’s and 70’s which was dominated by anti-establishment issues concerning race, identity and black empowerment. The play looks at the universality of the oppressed Jamaican and black-American women and how their activism is employed to represent the experiences of women across the globe. West African traditional setting and themes provide the conceptual frame work for the unravelling of the drama.
