Smart Night Out: Voices of Strength
October 20, 2012

Overview

If a YBCA performance is dinner, then Smart Night Out is the appetizer and the dessert. Smart Night Out is part workshop, part happy hour date and part backstage sneak peek. This month highlights night two of Voices of Strength featuring Maria Helena Pinto in Sombra and Bouchra Quizguen in Madame Plaza. Voices of Strength uses humor, irony, poignancy, and power to confront personal obstacles, address political and social issues, and paint true and vivid pictures of the lives of contemporary African women. For a $25 addition to the regular ticket price, you can immerse yourself in a range of dynamic activities, including:

  • A pre-show discussion and exclusive insights into the work with a guest expert
  • Art Savvy workshop
  • Moroccan cuisine prior to the evening's performance
  • A post-show download with wine and dessert
  • Recommended reading to help you dive into the work

Limited tickets available so reserve yours today! This program is free for YBCA:You members. Not a member of YBCA:You? Call 415-978-2787 to sign up!
