| Info/Notes: | The Colored MuseumSeptember 25-October 5, 2008By George C. Wolfe The Colored Museum premiered at Crossroads Theatre in 1986 where resident artist- future Broadway Director/Writer George C. Wolfe - wrote an insightful satire that launched Mr. Wolfe's brilliant career and put a small theater in New Brunswick, Crossroads, on the national theater scene. The Colored Museum, a precursor to TV's “In Living Color” and other introspective satires, lampoons the myths and stereotypes of African-American culture. Traveling through a metaphorical journey in a 'museum,' several vignettes spoof cultural aspects of black culture such as slavery, hair, and Big Momma. Crossroads is pleased to announce the return of Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj, director of acclaimed 2004 Crossroads production History of the Word.
