Award-winning actress Robbie McCauley returns to the Brecht Forum to present excerpts from her performance piece Sugar, which looks at everything there is to see about sugar, from slavery to colonialism to American mythologies to diabetes. This ongoing work-in-progress will incorporate some of the story exchanges with participants in the "Diabetic Drama" workshops facilitated by Ms. McCauley in February at the Brecht Forum. Through the interweaving of stories, images, facts and historical legends we will see that diabetes is not only a medical issue but also one of race and class, and we will also see how sugar is sometimes something that is very bittersweet. Robbie McCauley has been an active presence in the American avant-garde theater for three decades. and is on the Performing Arts Department faculty at Emerson College in Boston. Sliding scale: $6/$10/$15; free for Brecht Forum subscribers. 451 West Street (between Bank & Bethune streets). 212-242-4201; e-mail: brechtforum at brechtforum.org.
