Pocket Theatre's
Production Flo
Is Crazy
Pocket Theatre's first
summer production for the
1977-78 theatre season will
be 'Flo Is Crazy,' a swing
musical with book and musfc
by Durhamite Jennie Knoop.
Ms. Flo Worth is a lost lady ,
looking for herself. With the
help of her shrink, her
astrologer, her spacey friend
April, and her photographer
friend Barbara, she manages
to get. more lost than ever.
But her guadian angel and a
half-broiled platypus pull her
through, She figures out who
she is, more or less, and she
gets ready to live the rest of
her life.
In the loose tradition of
the musical comedy, 'Flo Is
Crazy' has a scattered ' and'
impulsive plot spiced with
music and dance.
Ms. Knoop, who his
lived in Durham for several
years, has a fellowship grant
from the National Endow
ment for the Arts to study
traditional music with Hash
House, Harvey Ellington. She
works with a number of
instruments, including guitar,
fiddle, and concertina, and
the music she has written for
'.Flo lis Crazy, combines a
wide grange of musical influ
ences: The live band spans the
range' from - musicians of ; the .
current generation to 67

Ujaama 77
- CHARLOTTE - Few
arrs survived the voyage from .
Africa in the 1 8th century to
America today. But one
basketry is alive and well in
South Carolina.
The Mt. Pleasant Basket
Makers, who trace the art of ,
basketry back to their an-.
cestors born during slavery
will highlight "Ujaama 77",
the fourth annual Afro
America festival in die park
in Charlotte, on August 13.
The festival, sponsored
by the Charlotte Afro-American
Cultural and Service Cen
ter, will be held from noon to
9 p.m. in Marshall Park, near
downtown. Charlotte Mayor
John Belk has proclaimed
the week preceding the festi
val, Aug. 7-13, Black Cul
ture Week.
An African village scene
constructed by African ex
change students and commu
nity members, will also be
featured at "Ujaama 77",
which means "togetherness".
Dance, drama, art exhibits,
gospel music and public
service demonstrations will
also be featured at the festi
val, which has drawn up
20,000 people in past years.
Mary Bennett, one of the
basket makers, will demon
strate the art and offer
baskets for sale.
Mrs. Bennett, 53, who
serves on the South Caro
lina Arts Council, has been
making baskets all of her
life, a tradition passed down
to blacks in the South Caro
lina low country from their
African forebearers.
"Fanner Baskets", first
used for cleaning rice, can be
traced to west Africa. The
making of the coil baskets
continued throughout coastal
South Carolina' for both
agricultural and household
use.
But by the beginning of
the 20th century, basket
making had all but ceased in
the 'low country, except
where rice was still culti
vated; Today, the art of basket
making has remained an im
portfr'nt family -tradition to
the 1 ,500 Mt. Pleasant Bas
ket Makers of Charleston
County.
Both young boys and
girls learn to make simple
baskets which their mother
or older sister "build onto"
in creating larger and more
difficult designs. ' ." v
Women sew baskets at
home while taking care of
children and performing
other household tasks. Men
usually do not make show
baskets, but often travel
long distances to gather sweet '
grass and palmetto leaf for
their family.
Competition is strong
between large families who
are known for differences in
both basket design and
construction techniques.

ments of a tantalizing mys
trrypuzzlinit clues, secret
bywajs, sudden revelations,
and fun all the way! And the

ing frjae. Here are some of
those tips:
1. Talk to alt your relatives,
and let them talk about their
carlteitt recollections and fam
ily activities.
2. Examine all old letters and
postcards checking for names,
facts and places. Keep a log
of all findings.
3. After you have checked
back a few generations, look
for family names in the 1880
Federal Census, which listed
every person.
4. From the Office of Vital
Records, get all family birth
and death records, as far back
as available. Check grave
stones for further names and
dates. Search out pertinent obit
uaries in old newspapers, which
provide much information.

archives and genealogical col

lly information. Examine wills,
veterans records, tax records,
manuscript collections they
tell fascinating stories. ,
And you have only just be
