Applause - 4-12-2019 - Karamu House Tackles Aging with Eric Coble's 'Velocity of Autumn'
 
 
 
Local playwright Eric Coble's "The Velocity of Autumn" has played several dozen times from the Beck Center to Broadway to Israel and South America.

Up until now, however, the acclaimed comedy about aging had not been staged with African-American actors.

Karamu House CEO Tony Sias has long wanted to produce one of Coble's plays. This one centers on 79-year-old Alexandra, who's locked herself in her Brooklyn brownstone refusing to move to a retirement facility.
