Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine: A Missionary Position November 9, 2011

World premiere
A multimedia solo work for the stage written and performed by multitalented Ugandan American artist Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, A Missionary Position is a searing satirical response to the rampant homophobia now gripping Uganda—shown most notoriously by the proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill that would make certain homosexual acts punishable by death. The noted Los Angeles actor and theater artist portrays real-life and fictional characters, among them figures from the East African nation’s Anglican establishment; the political sponsor of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill; and Ugandan citizens whose very lives hang in the balance. A Missionary Position is the follow-up to Mwine’s internationally heralded one-man show Biro, about the eponymous HIV-positive Ugandan who illegally entered the United States to seek treatment.
