TONIGHT: True tale of Duppies and Zombies and Voodoo
from first hand experiences in Haiti and Jamaica.
"For by death is wrought great change, yet it hath happened that the veritable body without the spirit hath walked. And it is attested of those encountering who have lived to speak thereon, that a creature so raised up hath no natural affection, nor remembrance thereof, but only hate."

WEDNESDAY, August 29th at 7:00PM: The Conclusion ~ ZORA AND ME

Zora has a theory that the legendary Gator King is stalking Eatonville, bringing death and distruction. In their search for truth, Zora and her friends Carrie and Teddy stumble unwittingly into an ugly web of envy, lies, deceit and betrayal. Just as unexpectedly, the three friends are the key that unlocks the mystery and the unlikely saviors of Eatonville itself. Written by authors Victoria Bond and T.R. Simon, this is a fictionalization of the early years of a literary giant. This astonishing novel is the first project ever to be endorsed by the Zora Neale Hurston Trust that was not authored by Hurston herself.

WEDNESDAY, August 22nd at 7PM: ZORA AND ME ~ Part 3

Whether she’s telling the truth or stretching it, Zora Neale Hurston is a riveting storyteller. By turns tender, intimate, then brutal, this child’s eye view of race in the South, and the mysteries behind home, and the ones you love is compelling. Written by authors Victoria Bond and T.R. Simon, this is a fictionalization of the early years of a literary giant. This astonishing novel is the first project ever to be endorsed by the Zora Neale Hurston Trust that was not authored by Hurston herself.

WEDNESDAY, August 15th at 7pm: Part 2 ~ ZORA AND ME

Whether she’s telling the truth or stretching it, Zora Neale Hurston is a riveting storyteller. Her latest creation is a shape-shifting gator man who lurks in the marshes, waiting to steal human souls. But when boastful Sonny Wrapped loses a wrestling match with an elusive alligator named Ghost — and a man is found murdered by the railroad tracks soon after — young Zora’s tales of a mythical evil creature take on an ominous and far more complicated complexion, jeopardizing the peace and security of an entire town and forcing three children to come to terms with the dual-edged power of pretending.

Zora’s best friend, Carrie, narrates this coming-of-age story set in the Eden-like town of Eatonville, Florida, where justice isn’t merely an exercise in retribution, but a testimony to the power of community, love, and pride. A fictionalization of the early years of a literary giant, this astonishing novel is the first project ever to be endorsed by the Zora Neale Hurston Trust that was not authored by Hurston herself.
