Theater Talks: Sell/Buy/Date

Tony Award-winning playwright and performer Sarah Jones (Bridge & Tunnel) will take to the Schomburg stage to discuss her new one-woman play, Sell/Buy/Date presented by the Manhattan Theatre Club.  The exuberant new show is inspired by the real-life experiences of people affected by the sex industry, and preserves the full humanity of voices seldom heard in the theater. Jones and director Carolyn Cantor will be in conversation with Joan Morgan, an award-winning journalist and author, and a provocative cultural critic.
