College Drama Department
Presents “The Quadroon Ball”
The Kingwood College Drama Department will
present an intriguing romantic drama by Damon
Wright, The Quadroon Ball, beginning February
20th. Directed by Ron Jones, professor of theater
at Kingwood College, the show allows audiences
to peep into the not-so-secret world of the “gens
de couleur libre” - free people of color - who
formed a new and exotic social class in New Or-
leans at a time when most African Americans in
America were slaves.
Twenty years prior to the Civil War,-beginning
in the 1840s, the lines of color merged in the up-
per echelon of New Orleans society where wealthy
plantation owners fathered children by their fe
male slaves, creating a group of people with mixed
blood. They were mulatto, quadroon and octor-
oon. The quadroon women were world renown for
their beauty and were much sought after by well-
to-do gentlemen. This is their story.
’ In an arrangement known as “placage” these
wealthy landowners would set up housekeeping
in town with these young women, most of them
the daughters of other white landowners and
women of color. And so began a New Orleans
convention, the Quadroon Ball, a sort of coming
out party. At the Quadroon Ball men had the op-
portunity to look over the newest generation of
young women of mixed race who were of
matchmaking age. Once chosen, these women
were often sent abroad where they were educated,
taught social graces, literature, appreciation of the
arts, and foreign languages.
Meanwhile, the men remained married men and
pillars of the community whose wives, while aware
of these arrangements, turned a blind eye.
' The Quadroon Ball is the story of Jeanette, a
17-year-old quadroon beauty who attends a Qua-
dpaon Ball to find a benefactor. She hopes to find
a man who will set her up in a well-furnished home
With a monthly stipend and a staff of black ser-
vants.
-In the storytelling tradition of the South, the tale
is woven in the words of “Miss Eddie” as they
were passed down to her. Miss Eddie, a direct
dbscendent of the slave son Valmo, is played by
Mozelle Moses-Felder, star of Kingwood
College's production of Mahalia.
'Miss Eddie tells the story of Jeanette who is in-
troduced to a prince from France at the Quadroon
B&ll. This noble prince chooses Jeanette as his
mistress and fathers her son, Edward.
~ Not long after his birth, the Prince returns to
France without Jeanette or his son. In his absence,
sbe falls in love with Lathan, one of her very own
slaves and gives birth to a second son, Valmo.
■ Jeanette raises these two boys together, one a
slave, one a free man.
'"When the Prince returns from France 17 years
later to be reunited with his heir, an intriguing
mlystery unfolds and blood is shed.
'‘■ The show takes place in a very romantic and
grand time in history. While dramatic and com-
plex, it has comic moments in additions to serious
subject matter. This play is recommended for ma-
ture audiences only. wv
r>Jones read the play five years ago, and has been
haunted by it ever since. Despite some concerns
over the tremendous acting challenges the play
mounts and the racially charged issues and dia-
logue inherent in the show, he decided to bring it
td Kingwood College.
During his tenure at Kingwood, Jones has en-
joyed the support of the administration and staff,
allowing him to take some risks that some college
theater departments may have shied away from.
According to Jones, as part of
ah institution of learning, college theater should
give students the opportunities to take a look at
controversial issues and take a few chances,
don a new personality, and see the world through
the eyes of another.
The historically accurate show gave Jones and
his interracial cast the opportunity to work through
sdme very real issues regarding race and the treat-
ment of minorities even today.
”It’s been an exceptional learning experience,”
he said. “We are perhaps able to better understand
sdme racial issues and are more empathetic people
due to our participating in this show.”
^According to Jones, “I tell my first year theater
students that they should see a play hoping to be
enlightened and illuminated in some way.”
•Watching The Quadroon Ball will indeed make
audiences think and perhaps become somehow
enlightened by the play and its talented cast, which
includes Chelli Crisp as Jeanette, Darin Workman
as the Prince, Davis Dennis as Lathan, and Mozelle
Moses-Felder as Edwina de Guinne, the narrator.
Assistant director and choreographer is Rozanne
Damone Curtis. Kingwood College student
Raymond Deeb also serves as assistant director.
’’The play is indeed a celebration of life and an-
cestry, history, race and differences,” according
to Jones, who encourages students and the com-
munity to come out and see The Quadroon Ball.
Preview performances of The Quadroon Ball are
Feb. 20 at noon and 8 p.m. and on Feb. 21 at 8
p.m. The play opens in the Performing Arts The
ater in the Kingwood College Fine Arts building

Child Tax Credit Explained
With the Child Tax Credit, you may be able
to reduce the federal tax you owe by $600 for
each qualifying child under the age of 17, ac-
cording to the IRS. A qualifying child for this
credit is someone who:
• Is claimed as your dependent,
• Was under age 17 at the end of 2001,
• Is your son, daughter, adopted child, grand
child, stepchild, or eligible foster child, and
• Is a U.S. citizen or resident.
The credit is limited if your modified ad-
I usted gross income is above a certain amount.
The total credit-not the per child amount-is
reduced by $50 for each $1,000 (or part
thereof) that your adjusted gross income ex-
ceeds the threshold amount. The amount at
which this phaseout begins varies depending
on your filing status:
• Married Filing Jointly $110,000
• Married Filing Separate $ 55,000
• All others $ 75,000
The Child Tax Credit reduces the amount of
tax you owe. In addition, if the credit you are
eligible to claim exceeds your tax liability, you
can claim the difference as a refund. The IRS
provides a one-page worksheet (Form 8812)
for you to figure your credit and possible re-
fund.
You may claim the child tax credit on Form
1040 or 1040A. Details on how to compute
the credit can be found in the forms’ instruc-
tions and in Publication 972. “Child Tax
Credit.” The forms and publications are avail-
able from the IRS Web site at www.irs.gov,
at your local IRS Tax Assistance Center, or
bv calling toll free 1-800-TAX- FORM (1-
800-829-3676).
