• by Elizabethtown College

ELIZABETHTOWN, PA (02/06/2010)(readMedia)-- High Library and the Office of Diversity sponsor "1001 Black Inventions" at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 22 in Musser Auditorium, Leffler Chapel and Performance Center, Elizabethtown College. The play, performed by Washington, D.C.-based Pin Points Theatre, features the lives of brilliant men and women, and then takes you into the Twilight Zone, where a typical American family attempts to survive in a world without inventions created by Africans and African Americans. Audiences laugh themselves into the realization that Black ingenuity is an integral part of their everyday lives. The performance, which is open to the public, celebrates Black History Month.

Pin Points Theatre is a community theater company that travels internationally, creating its plays and workshops in impoverished D.C. communities then presenting them to schools, businesses, government agencies and theaters throughout the nation's capitol, the United States, and Asia (Guam, Korea, Japan, and Singapore), Canada and Germany.
