Best Segue

While spending her days working hard for the money as a pig who sings, dances and gallivants with glee in Three Little Pigs, Angela Wildflower Polk used her nights playing the embittered blues singer Alberta Hunter in Harlem Knights. At Theatre for Young America, she wore pink ears and a curlicue tail, spinning mischief with her porcine compatriots. When the sun went down, she was in Midtown at the Just Off Broadway space, boozing it up in Jaquee Gafford's play about one opportune afternoon in a Harlem apartment. It was a delicious juxtaposition that gave Polk the kind of buzz that has attracted other theaters' attention.
