Okaidja was born into a family of musicians and storytellers in the village of Kokrobite on the west coast of Ghana. His musical journey unites the past of his native homeland with modern landscapes in a dynamic fusion of traditional and contemporary African rhythms and diverse music of the world. The result is a spicy fusion of spirited cross-cultural influences. Okaidja’s songs tell the story of his people and their journeys through the disparate lands where they were scattered. Through drums, guitar, vocals, and dance, Okaidja and his ensemble present music of the shared human experience…joyous, tragic, and ultimately uplifting.

$10 $15 $25 Adult $5 $8 $12 Child
C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia) and J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings) were lions of 20th century British fantasy and distinguished faculty members at Oxford University. Their robust philosophical discourse served an uncommon friendship that was not without its differences. Life’s circumstances and unresolved disagreements forced an uncomfortable season of estrangement. In Wardrobes and Rings we join “Jack” and “Tollers,” as they knew each other, at Oxford’s historic Eagle and Child pub for one last visit, tempered by thawing humor, confession, and reconciliation. Remarkable lives. Memorable theatre.
