"America’s Favorite Cookie."   It's black on the outside and white on the inside. This semi-autobiographical one-woman show stages the journey of Obehi, a (sub)urban twenty-something artist, and her attempts to negotiate and narrate multiple identities: Black Female, Nigerian-American and Christian.  When she finds herself recounting memories of home, school, and church in therapy and on stage, she discovers there is more to her identity than simply performing it. With inventive prose and incredible wit, fufu & oreos stakes a claim for the power of voice in our search for self. fufu & oreos is supported in part by a grant from the Lowell Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.   Copyright © 2011, fufu & oreos All rights reserved.
