Fairview by Jackie Sibblies Drury
Reviewed by: Fairview by Jackie Sibblies Drury Faedra Chatard Carpenter FAIRVIEW. By Jackie Sibblies Drury. Directed by Stevie Walker-Webb. Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, Washington, D.C. September 14, 2019. Fairview had yet to start, but as I walked down the aisle, Roc Lee’s sound design—nostalgic sitcom tunes—sashayed through the air, setting the tone. As I settled in, listening to the theme of Good Times, I observed how set designer Misha Kac…

An Interview with Moya Bailey
An Interview with Moya Bailey Faedra Chatard Carpenter (bio) This interview was conducted by telephone on March 21, 2006, between Atlanta, Georgia and Laurel, Maryland. CARPENTER: I wanted to talk to you about the "Take Back the Music" event that started at Spelman and all the controversy surrounding Nelly. Let's start at the beginning.

(L)Activists and Lattes: Breastfeeding Advocacy as Domestic Performance
This article considers how “lactivists” (lactation activists) consciously stage the act of public breastfeeding as a means of political advocacy, cultural resistance, and ideological subversion.

An Interview with Gwendolyn D. Pough
An Interview with Gwendolyn D. Pough Faedra Chatard Carpenter (bio) This interview was conducted by telephone on March 21, 2006, between New York and Laurel, Maryland. CARPENTER: I'd like to start by talking about your book, Check It While I Wreck It. Can you talk about the title a little bit? POUGH: The title originally comes from a small piece of a Queen Latifah song—at the beginning, before she raps—where she says, "Check it while I wreck it, …
Robert O'Hara's Insurrection: “Que(e)rying” history
This essay explores how Robert O'Hara's play, Insurrection: Holding History, uses a queer theoretical paradigm to explore the inherent capaciousness of our historical narratives and dismantle the monolithic authority of “normalizing ideologies.” In utilizing this paradigm, I propose that O'Hara's play critiques the notion of a “real” or “authentic” history, offering instead a perception of history's inherent “queerness”–its varied interpretations…
