Feb. 19 BCC play tackles women's issues

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The Purdue Black Cultural Center (BCC) presents the new play "Womyn With Wings" at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19, in Loeb Playhouse, Stewart Center.

Written by Columbus, Ohio, playwright, actor and director James H. Chapmyn, "Womyn With Wings" deals with a broad range of social issues facing today's woman. Chapmyn uses humor, music, movement and pathos to explore topics such as sexual abuse, love relationships, breast cancer and women in religion.

This is the fourth time a Chapmyn production has been presented as part of the BCC's annual Cultural Arts Series. The performance has been moved from Fowler Hall to Loeb Playhouse in Stewart Center to accommodate a larger audience. Admission is free.
