Bliss: A Play by Velina Hasu Houston

Admission is free.

Reception to follow.

Join us for a concert reading of Bliss, an original play by Velina Hasu Houston that explores concepts of beauty, gender and identity in contemporary society. The event will be presented in conjunction with the exhibition Posing Beauty in African American Culture, on display at the USC Fisher Museum of Art from September 7 through December 3.

Bliss tells the story of Schatsi Sullivan, an Afro-German woman who has struggled with her looks and identity. When her uncertain choices lead her to an unconscionably violent act, she is forced to deal with who she is and what she looks like. The reading will feature a professional cast and will be directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera.

Organized by the USC Fisher Museum of Art.
