Door Community Auditorium
7pm Performance by OKCello

Okorie “OkCello” Johnson is an American cellist-songwriter whose artistry integrates cello performance, live-sound-looping, improvisation, and storytelling - all culminating in original compositions that collide classical with jazz, EDM, reggae, and funk. 

His music is inspired by the exploration of African Diasporic melodies and narratives and their intersection with people’s perceptions and assumptions about the classical and European nature of the cello.  As well, his work with improvisation attempts to embody the phenomenon of wordless prayer.

7:15pm Performance of Bent Compass, a play by Neil Brookshire

The journey of a US Army Medic from fresh recruit to seasoned combat veteran. The stories begin with Colin, years after his deployment, as a student teacher who witnesses an event during a teaching assignment. Because of his combat experience, he sees the situation differently from the other teachers. At once personal, reflective, humorous, raw, and candid, these stories honor a man whose unique perspective speaks to both veterans and non-combat civilians alike.
