Center Rep's production 'Froggy,' running at Walnut Creek's Lesher Center for the Arts, is a dynamic graphic novel noir thriller focused on a woman's quest to find her boyfriend amidst a violent video game setting. Created by Jennifer Haley, it uniquely blends graphic novels, film noir, and virtual media, showcasing a compelling narrative about loss and self-discovery. The production features a talented cast under Matt M. Morrow's direction, inviting audiences into a visually engaging and emotional journey. Alongside, Kathryn Seabron's 'Angry Black Woman 101' addresses multifaceted issues of racial and gender biases faced by Black women.
While all the colorful video set at enticing angles and playing on a variety of jumbo screens can be a bit daunting for audiences of a certain age, it is also 90 minutes of riveting theater.
Froggy fuses styles of graphic novels, film noir, and virtual media into a new, alluring theatrical event.
At heart, Froggy is a story of loss and a search for ways to cope and heal something even this older generation audience member can relate to.
Angry Black Woman 101 blends compelling vignettes, storytelling, poetry, and multimedia elements to explore the racism and misogyny that Black women navigate daily.
