The Church was honored to welcome acclaimed storyteller and educator, Mfoniso Udofia. Udofia read and performed excerpts from several of the plays in her nine-play cycle, The Ufot Family Cycle, which envisions the immigrant experience of a singular Nigerian family from their arrival in America in 1968 through 2051. Since the plays in this cycle vary in style/genre—kitchen-sink play, Greek play, ultra-realism, musical, memory-play—Udofia’s reading wasv a rich blending of acting, reading and song. The evening included insights into Udofia’s creative process, the history involved, and her own background.
