(MIDDLETOWN, NJ) -- Dunbar Repertory Company presents the acclaimed Sweet Potato Pie Reading Series featuring a staged reading of Beauty of the Week, written and directed by Mark Antonio Henderson. The event will take place on Sunday, February 18, 2024 at 4:00pm.

Transport yourself to the soulful vibes of a 1970s black barber shop in Philadelphia. In this compelling play, a dynamic ensemble of characters, each with their own unique flair, embarks on a journey to fulfill their dreams against the backdrop of a changing era. Set to the rhythm of funk and soul, witness the aspirations, camaraderie, and challenges that unfold within the walls of this culturally rich and vibrant community hub.
