The Nacirema Society

The Ensemble Theatre
3535 Main Street Houston

Young love blossoms and old flames simmer at the Nacirema Society of Montgomery, Alabama's centennial celebration. Each year since Emancipation, the society (whose name is American spelled backwards) introduces six elegant African-American debutants to a world of wealth, privilege and social responsibility. This year, with national media attention on hand ... what could possibly go wrong? Award-winning playwright and author Pearl Cleage, New York Times best-selling author of the Oprah book club selection What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day, invites you into a glamorous world where folks still dress for dinner. This sparkling and distinctly Southern romantic comedy comes to Houston courtesy of The Ensemble Theatre.
