Description

Jamaica, Farewell

by Debra Ehrhardt

9/26/2009 – 9/26/2009
Caribbean Education Foundation
Wimberly Theatre

JAMAICA, FAREWELL is a true story that journeys its audience on a wild roller coaster ride from Jamaica to America! It is a one woman play based on Debra’s true story of her life growing up in Jamaica and subsequent migration to the United States during a time of political upheaval in her native country. Ehrhardt plays some 20 characters, including her parents, siblings and a CIA agent as she recalls fleeing the turmoil of Kingston, Jamaica. Debra Ehrhardt’s numerous attempts to obtain a visa in revolution-torn Jamaica in the 1970’s were devastatingly futile. Left to her own devices, she risked prison time, even death, in an attempt to pull off a daring, dangerous caper with the unwitting help of an infatuated American CIA agent. A VIP Reception will follow the performance with delicious Caribbean Cuisine and Live Roots Reggae Band performance.
