Mary Ann Byas-Drake | "Aunt Pookie's Girls" - Stage Play Reading

,

An intimate, moving one-act play that celebrates legacy, love, and the power of Black womanhood.

Inspired by Destined and Determined to Be a Nurse by Willis L. Drake, this heartfelt work follows a group of women in their thirties who reunite years after the passing of their beloved matriarch, Mary Ann Byas-Drake, affectionately known as “Aunt Pookie.” Once mentored and nurtured by her wisdom, discipline, and joy, these women gather again to honor a promise they made to one another: to stay connected and carry her lessons forward. Produced by Create A Space NOW, Written and Directed by: Hettie Barnhill, and Executive Producer: Willis L Drake
