Dell'Arte - The Mammy Project

This is not one to miss! Dell'Arte Faculty Michelle Matlock presents her acclaimed solo show for the first time in Humboldt County in the Carlo.

The Mammy Project, written and performed by Michelle Matlock, unearths the gritty truth behind the century-old icon of Aunt Jemima. This bandanna-wearing superstar of minstrel shows, Hollywood epics, and the breakfast nook is reimagined from her dark roots in the antebellum South, liberated from her demeaning roles, and unleashed from her pancake box prison onto an unsuspecting audience. Michelle Matlock, a phenomenal character actress and physical comedienne, delves into her own experiences, American history, and a wild imagination to deliver a personal, political, and outrageously entertaining exposé.
