Finally!  A play that teaches the seven principles of Kwanzaa as well as some Kwanzaa traditions while being highly entertaining with its rhythmic, musical style.  The royal citizens of Culture Kingdom, who once celebrated Kwanzaa every day, are devastated when a terrible plague called “The Recession” hits their kingdom.  The loss of the things they once held dear causes them to abandon their principles of Unity, Self-Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith.  Soon after the recession, two scholars, Maulana and Karenga, return home from a study-abroad trip in Africa.  Surprised by the selfishness of their once community-minded neighbors, they seek the counsel of their queen — the omniscient, royal, superhero Culture Queen.  With help from the audience, she encourages the citizens to rekindle their Kwanzaa spirit.  With just a pot, water and a magical bone, Maulana and Karenga devise a clever plan to involve the citizens in cooking a traditional bone soup.  Soon, the citizens begin working together to return their kingdom to its Kwanzaa tradition of family, culture and community.
