Everyone likes a good story, especially if it involves dancing, jukeboxes, and a sledgehammer that smashes Zeus' head. The Oh, My God It's So True Story of Halybere is about how happenstance is inspiration and how Halybere, muse of randomness, stays true to who she is.
The Oh, My God It's So True Story of Halybere premiered as part of The CREATION Project, the first year-long new works and professional development program created by the Central District Forum for Arts and Ideas. CREATION PROJECT artist and playwright Rachael Ferguson explores the hyperboles of Black Americana kitsch, folklore and the spectacle of pop caricatures. She received her BFA in Theater with an Original Works emphasis from Cornish College of the Arts in 2004.
