ABOUT KEY & PEELE
Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele present “Key & Peele,” an original sketch-comedy show coming to Comedy Central in 2012. In this new series these fresh, relevant comedic actor-writers, used to being on the outside looking in, will examine life in a provocative and irreverent way, through a combination of filmed sketches and live stage segments.
Whether it’s satirizing the President, spoofing Nazis, or ordering up some soul food, “Key & Peele” will showcase their chemistry, camaraderie and unique point of view, born from their shared background and experiences growing up biracial in a not quite post-racial world.
Interview of Key & Peele on National Public Radio:
Obama, Peele goes on to say, was the best thing to happen to black nerds everywhere.
“Up until Obama, it was basically Urkel and the black guy from Revenge of the Nerds — Lamar,” says Peele. “Other than that, we had no role models. So he made us cool.”
Carl Richardson: On Point(e)!
“Because words fail, I choose paint, ink, canvas, paper, film, pen, charcoal and/or a squeegee to five a voice to thoughts, feelings and emotions in me.”
Exhibition at Tinman Gallery January 27 – February 18, 2012
Open 10am to 6pm Tuesday through Saturday
811 West Garland Ave Spokane WA
Carl Richardson has been a professional artist and educator for 15 years. He received his Master in Fine Arts from Washington State University in 1994.
While there, he won a prestigious Rockefeller Foundation protege grant. He has participated in group and solo shows in Florida, Nevada, and Spokane. A favorite with studetns at Spokane Falls Community college, Carl is well-known for the energy and creativity he brings to his artwork. He is constantly combining media and images to find new ways of presenting the visual world. His work is characterized by expert use of vivid color, striking composition and haunting imagery.
The urban ballerinas are a clever juxtaposition of classic dance form with gritty urban forms. His previous series, Tisa, presented Maasai dance and tribal costume through ingenious screen printing techniques. Carl is always pushing the two-dimensional world to give up three-dimensional imagery.
Return of the King : The Boondocks
The Boondocks : Return of the King
Is this Entertainment, Education or Empowerment?
In “Return of the King,” McGruder offers a “what if?” episode which theorizes that Martin Luther King, Jr. didn’t die but, rather, has been in a coma all this time; when he awakens, he ends up going from being a hero to all those seeking equality of the races to being accused of a terrorist sympathizer. When he attempts to hold a rally to inspire his brethren, it’s so overtaken by attempts to make it into a party . . . . . . . .

Adilah Barnes at Whitworth – One Actor’s Journey
Cover of Adila Barnes' autobiography
Adilah Barnes performance in the one woman show I Am That I Am: Woman, Black at Whitworth University on October 26 was an evening of inspiring theater. The choice of women portrayed (from Sojourner Truth forward to Angela Davis and May Angelou), the interesting and meaningful selection of their words woven together with song in a dark theater was moving. As the excellent questions from students, faculty and community members revealed something of Ms. Barnes life and spirit and because some of her life path seemed to parallel my own I decided to buy her book so I could find out more. We talked a little as she signed the book and indeed we had both been college students in the San Francisco Bay area in the late 60’s and early 70’s – that great time of change. . . . . .
But as I opened her book and read about her origins I realized we had even more in common – we are both from Oroville, California. . . . . (more)
Thanks to Adilah Barnes for sharing her life journey so unreservedly. It was heart warming to read the story of someone who set goals and didn’t let anything stop her from reaching them. More information about her, including where you can buy her book, may be found at her website.
