Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of The South—An Oral History*

Forsyth Tech Presents “Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of The South—An Oral History,” performed by Dr. E. Patrick Johnson. This performance of oral histories is from stories shared by Black Gay men between the ages of 19-93 who were born, raised and continue to live in the South. Dr. Johnson’s performance inspired his full-length script Sweet Tea – A Play. Both works dive into the complexities of coming of age in the South, focusing on religion, sex, transgenderism, love stories and coming out. In his dramatic reading, Dr. Johnson embodies the stories of the people featured in his book. For several years, he has toured college campuses and performed for numerous community groups and special events.

This event is open to the public and free to attend.

*Attendees 16 years old and younger must be accompanied by an adult/legal guardian.*
