Wine in the Wilderness is a play about the stereotyping of black women. In the midst of the riots raging through his city, artist Bill Jameson is only interested in finishing his triptych of three paintings representing black womanhood, The first is the innocent young girl, the second is the maternal Mother Africa, and the third and the only one he has yet to paint is down and out and hardened by life. In his mind, she is what society has made of Black women. Then along comes, Tommy to model for him and teach Bill (and us all) that black women are so much more than stereotypes. The acting in this show is all good, but Crystal Dickinson is particularly terrific in the role of Tommy. This is a definitely show that makes you think.

And that's our view. For more information about Wine in the Wilderness or to purchase tickets, visit tworivertheater.org/whats-on/wine-in-the-wilderness.
