Teresa was growing up in the 1960’s in Valley Station, Kentucky; a part of the state that didn’t overflow with diversity.
As she grew, Teresa discovered that her attitudes towards those who didn’t look like her were not exactly feelings that everyone else shared—and that racism was a force to be reckoned with.
Enter Eenie Meanie, a solo piece written and performed by Teresa Willis, an artist who first conceived the piece in 2001 and staged its debut in 2003.
Since then, the play has been performed over 60 times across the country and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, all to rave reviews.
Willis’ piece is set to be staged again, this time in front of Louisville audiences, in conjunction with Bunbury Theatre’s 2014-2015 season.
Eenie Meanie opens this Friday, February 13 and runs through March 1. Performances will be held at the Henry Clay Theatre, 604 S. Third Street. Tickets are $22/$19 and $10 for students under 25 (with ID) and can be reserved by calling 502.585.5306 or by emailing to bunburytheatrereservations@gmail.com.
