Step Afrika! brings ‘Fruits of Our Labor’ to Arena Stage
The new D.C. production ties rhythm, resilience, and America’s 250th into a Southwest stage run.
Step Afrika! is now performing “Fruits of Our Labor” at Arena Stage in Southwest D.C., 7News / WJLA reports. The production arrives as the country approaches America’s 250th anniversary and explores “rhythm, resilience and the unfinished story of the American experience,” according to 7News. It is directed and choreographed by Jakari Sherman and features dancer Nya Christian, a Howard University graduate. The show runs through Nov. 1 at 1101 Sixth St. SW.
Why it matters: For DMV culture people, this is a local arts pick sitting right at the intersection of D.C. performance, Howard ties, and the national 250th anniversary conversation.
