VIRTUAL STUDENT MATINEE: SAME BUT DIFFERENT

created and performed by Lida Winfield and Christal Brown

Available for 2 weeks
VIRTUAL/ONLINE



Same But Different is a collaboration between Christal Brown and Lida Winfield, exploring their similarities and differences in a cultural commentary on race, age, and gender. 42 years young and recently orphaned, Lida grew up in the North, Christal grew up in the South, both of them grew up inhabiting small towns. Lida is white, Christal is black. As children, Christal was considered a genius and Lida was labeled dumb. At this point in their lives, Lida and Christal have both lived the rigors of being artists, professors, educators, and survivors of life.

Same But Different was created with support from Middlebury Performing Arts Series.
