If you're looking for an outside-the-box way to spend your Saturday evening, consider this:
Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka, currently the President's Marymount Institute Professor in Residence at Loyola Marymount University, will direct a performance piece based on his poem "Samarkand.”
Actual performances start at 8:30 p.m., but the makeshift marketplace serving as the set opens at 6 p.m.
The flackage says this:
"The interactive performance will capture the market imagery from Soyinka's book of poems, "Samarkand and Other Markets I Have Known.” The market will be complete with international merchants, performances of all kinds and staged readings by accomplished international actors including Danny Glover, CCH Pounder and Michael Learned.
Could be cool. I'm just sayin.
