GCP is taking advantage of two of its dark nights later this month to bring you something a little different. "I Have Before Me a Remarkable Document Given to Me By a Young Lady from Rwanda" (how do they fit that on a poster?!), directed by Jan Cohen and starring the fabulous duo of Jeff Nowlin and Madeleine Escarne, will grace the Vam York stage Sunday, January 30, and Monday, January 31, at 7:30 p.m. There is a suggested donation of $5 for admission; all donations will benefit a children's arts group. Seating is general admission.Sonja Linden's play recounts the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide by introducing Juliette, a young survivor, to Simon, a poet who has volunteered to help refugees write and share their stories. A talk-back session will occur after each production, featuring an African Studies professor from UF and a nurse from Shands who has helped survivors of the genocide.
