"99 Questions You've Always Wanted to Ask an African American But Were Too Afraid to Ask," a play by Assistant Professor of Theatre Mark Cryer, was staged at the annual Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, S.C., May 30-June 12. The one-person multi-media play is a look at what we think and what we know about African-Americans.

Focusing primarily on artists of the Southeast region, Piccolo Spoleto features 700 events in 17 days, transforming Charleston into an exhilarating celebration of performing, literary and visual arts. Piccolo Spoleto's traditional program offerings include visual arts exhibits, classical music, jazz, dance, theatre, poetry readings, children's activities, choral music, ethnic cultural presentations, crafts, and film.

Piccolo Spoleto was designed and launched in 1979 by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs together with a group of volunteers from the Charleston arts community. These arts professionals devoted their time and energy to help produce the various series and presentations which comprised the Piccolo Spoleto Festival. Their individual artistic taste and judgment manifested into the comprehensive festival program which for the last 20 years has been produced and presented by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs.
