THE BROTHERS SIZE By Tarell Alvin McCraney Join us for our season opening celebration along with the opening night for the season's first main stage production, THE BROTHERS SIZE. This event will have light snacks, drinks, as well as a pre-show discussion with the Erie chapter of 100 Black Men of America. There will also be a post-show talk-back that will include the cast, crew, and production team. In the Louisiana bayou, big bother Ogun Size is hardworking and steady. Younger brother Oshoosi is just out of prison and aimless. Elegba, Oshoosi's old prison-mate, is a mysterious complication. A simple circle defines a world that begins in ritual and evolves into a tough and tender drama of what it means to brother and be brothered. Flights of poetry, music, dance, and West African mythology combine in a contemporary tale that explores the tenuousness of freedom and the need to belong somewhere, to something, to someone.
