Spelman Theatre Presents Sankofunktopia

When the Afronauts arrive in the 21st century, they must rediscover the origins of their power to return to Funktopia. Inspired by George Clinton and Parliament’s album, “Funkentelechy vs The Placebo Syndrome” (1977), the cast have created original works detailing the story of the Afronauts. The cast include Londyn Hall, Isaiah Fye, Kendall Williams, Aidan Pullian, Amil Simmons, McKenzie Franklin, Leandra Hall, Ariel Jones, Maddison, Gardner, William Blackwell, Kadence, Gary, and Nylla Miller. 

This show is devised and directed by Aku Kadogo, in collaboration with CJ Brinson and Alex Acosta. It will take place in the Baldwin Burroughs Theatre on Nov. 7 - 9 at 7 p.m. and again on Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. All events are free and open to the public. For questions, please contact 404-270-5471 or Spelmantheatre@gmail.com.
