About Live Rich Die Poor, Zora Awakening
Live Rich Die Poor is a soul-stirring theatrical journey through the life, wit, and wisdom of Zora Neale Hurston. Written and performed by award-winning actress and playwright Ann C. Perry, this one-woman show reclaims forgotten brilliance and illuminates the complexities of legacy, art, and truth. Expect laughter, tears, and a deep connection to the storytelling tradition that shaped generations.
In 1973, Alice Walker took a pilgrimage to Zora Neale Hurston's unmarked grave to honor the fallen icon, but what if Alice's footsteps stirred more than dirt? This is where our story begins. Two titans collide across time, challenging everything we thought we knew about legacy, loss, and living rich.
Presented by Memphis Dental Corporation
