About the event
Smote This, A Comedy About God ...and Other Serious $H*T
performed & written by Rodney Gardiner
Smote This premiered at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Directed by Raz Golden.
One Black man’s reckoning with legacy and religion...In this one-man comedy, Rodney Gardiner tries to abandon God despite his deeply Christian roots. For this undocumented Black boy growing up in tumultuous 1980s Miami, racial unrest, an immigration crisis, and the drug war is just another Tuesday. "Smote This" is an entertaining web of stories and tangents, and BLAAC & New Canon Theatre Co are delighted to welcome Rodney Gardiner to Monterey County for this celebration of Black History Month performance.
Approximate running time: 1 hour and 5 minutes, with no intermission.
Suitability Suggestions - This funny, poignant piece about loss and growing up Caribbean Black contains some profanity, sexual references, and remembrances of being beaten as a child, and will be best suited for prepared students…
