Brad Brewer's "Crowtations" presents a puppet play that tells the story of African American inventor Lewis Latimer. Although he was a member of the Edison Pioneers, a group associated with the famous inventor Thomas Edison, Latimer is not a well-known figure. Through the unique artistry of puppet theater, the Brewery Troupe tells Latimer's exciting story of a self-educated son of slaves who rose to become an inventor, a poet, and an activist.
