*Pouring Tea: Black Gay Men of the South Tell Their Tales*     

 This dramatic reading is based on the oral histories collected in Johnson's book, Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South--An Oral History, published by the University of North Carolina Press. The oral histories are from black gay men who were born, raised, and continue to live in the South and range in age from 19 to 93. This performance covers the following topics: coming of age in the South, religion, sex, transgenderism, love stories, and coming out.  Johnson embodies these and others' stories in the show.
