Indiestry executive S. Ann Johnson’s original play, The XX Chromosome Genome Project, will premiere TONIGHT at Strand Theater Company’s 2010 Friends and Neighbors Festival: Works by Women. The XX Chromosome Genome Project is a multicultural choreopoem that explores the similarities and differences between women of various ethnicities through poetry, song and dance (FYI: A choreopoem is a dramatic work that combines poetry and choreography). You have three chances to see her vision come to life:

• TODAY, Thursday, June 3, 8 pm;

• Friday, June 4, 8 pm; and

• Saturday, June 5, 8 pm

Directed by Alvin E. Ford Jr., the play stars Indiesty executive Donisha Adams (Chocolate), Jessica Baker (Vanilla),Chrisovalandou Diakokomninos (Cinnamon), Naelis Ervin (Caramel), Nina Marti (Lemon), and Lauren Wardell (White Chocolate).
