The two-act play is “at its heart an investigation in storytelling. We examined the dual functions of stories — to delight and to teach — as well as what might happen if one of those exists without the other,” said director LeMar Moore, a senior majoring in psychology in Arts & Sciences. Black Anthology started in 1989 as part of the “Quest for Success” programming series and was envisioned as a way of educating others about the rich history of the African-American culture.
