This production is part of the 27th annual Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts and Humanities (<a href=\"https:\/\/zorafestival.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZORA! Festival 2016<\/a>). The play will run through Jan. 21-31 on the 麻豆原创 campus.<\/p>\n<p>The adaptation was written by 麻豆原创 Theatre professor Be Boyd. Hurston\u2019s play <em>Spunk <\/em>itself is an adaptation of a short story of the same name that she wrote for <em>The New Negro <\/em>during the \u201cHarlem Renaissance\u201d of the 1920s. The short story depicts a love triangle between Jim, his wife Evalina, and Spunk Banks, \u201ca giant of a brown-skinned man\u201d in the back country of early 20th century Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Boyd enveloped Hurston\u2019s original words into a larger story of a fictitious meeting between the Harlem Literati, wherein the writers are deciding which literary works will be included in their literary magazine <em>Fire!! <\/em>As the discussion ensues, Zora\u2019s storytelling of <em>Spunk <\/em>becomes the highlight of the evening, and the story springs to life for the theatre patrons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a playwright, I wanted to celebrate the magnificent storytelling of Zora Neale Hurston,\u201d said Boyd. \u201cI also wanted to honor the other major influences of the movement who were in Zora\u2019s company, many of whom were her friends: Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Wallace Thurman, Helene Johnson, Gwendolyn Bennett, and Richard Nugent. These voices shaped my experience as an African-American artist and gave me the courage to explore my heritage from all perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maurice Mallard, a first-year musical-theatre student, plays the title role of Spunk. \u201c<em>Spunk<\/em> is a spectacular play that tells an amazing story of love and determination. It highlights the importance of unity in the community as well as social issues facing African-Americans, such as the over-appreciation of fairer skinned African Americans and the thought that money is worth more than the life of a black man. In the show we also see the community together all the time and engaging with each other. Now most people don\u2019t even know their next door neighbor, but in this town the community is like a family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acting student Amanda Tavarez plays the role of Evalina. \u201cIt has been such a fun experience getting to work on a piece that was also adapted by our director Be Boyd, and getting to bring to life these characters as both she and Zora envisioned them. It was challenging going on this journey with my character, Evalina, trying to find her voice, her freedom, and especially her happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This production contains gunshots, consumption of alcohol, and mature themes. If it were a movie, it would be rated PG-13. The community is invited to an opening-night reception in the lobby immediately following the performance on Jan. 21. Stay after the performance on Thursday, Jan. 28 for a post-show discussion with Boyd and\u00a0麻豆原创 Big Read\u00a0organizer Keri Watson. 麻豆原创\u2019s Big Read of Hurston\u2019s <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God <\/em>kicks off Jan. 14 at the 麻豆原创 Art Gallery.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and to reserve free tickets, go to http:\/\/www.theatre.ucf.edu or call 407-823-1500<\/p>\n<p>Production at a glance:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Spunk and the Harlem Literati<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An adaptation by Be Boyd, based on the play <em>Spunk<\/em> by Zora Neale Hurston<br \/>\nDirected by Be Boyd<\/p>\n<p>Jan. 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30 at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Jan. 24, 31 at 2 p.m .<\/p>\n<p><em>A collaboration with the Association to Preserve the Eatonville Community, presenter of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/zorafestival.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZORA!
