    I want to look into the background of the play “The Spirit of the Baobab Tree”
    I’ve seen this play about three times in elementary school so I would just like to see it’s impact, how the play is so important to society in general. Additionally, my former dance teacher helped in the production of the play which I find pretty interesting.
    - The Baobab Tree is considered the ‘tree of life’ in African folklore; the tree lives up to 5,000 years. The play is is about the background of African American history, their struggles and issues, and how that identity is something that youths should becomes acquainted with.

    2. I want to know if dramas necessarily have to be performed in order to be considered a drama.
    I’ve seen some stories written in screenplay form - but always wondered if they have to be performed or can something be written in that format but not be a drama.
    - Dramas are always performed and presented through dialogue and performance. So, basically the answer to my question is yes. Also, dramas and dramatic literature, which is written, are contradictory, in that , literature was originally considered as written and drama as a performance. This is interesting because I can see how defining “dramatic literature” could be considered contradictory; I’d never thought about that aspect of the title before.
