Refuse It: A Black Woman’s Guide to 21st Century Rage
Theodore and Adele Shank Theatre | May 6-17
Written by Phanésia Pharel | Directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenburg
Refuse to Mammy. Refuse Shame. Refuse to Explain. REFUSE IT: A BLACK WOMAN’S GUIDE TO 21ST CENTURY RAGE explores the lives of Black women who reject the status quo. Through a kaleidoscope of vignettes, these women confront the costs and benefits of living radically under the persistent weight of the past. Darkly comedic and unapologetically defiant, REFUSE IT asks: If society has truly progressed and living conditions are undeniably better, why don’t we feel better?
Baby Shower Katie
Theodore and Adele Shank Theatre | May 2-17
Written by Beth Hyland | Directed by Aysan Celik
Rebecca desperately wants to have a child; her best friend Hannah can’t imagine anything worse. Over the course of four different baby showers for mutual friends all named Katie, Rebecca and Hannah grapple with their unspoken wishes and fears about motherhood–and everything else. BABY SHOWER KATIE is an antic, irreverent, and deeply felt exploration of women’s choices and the baby shower industrial complex.
Motherloss
Sheila & Hughes Potiker Theatre | May 5-16
Written by Mylan Gray | Directed by Ludmila de Brito | Choreography by Ana María Álvarez
When Dwayne meets his long-lost mother in a dream, he leaves behind everything he’s ever known to go find her. In a fantastical journey through space and time, MOTHERLOSS follows Dwayne as he retraces his mother’s steps from the Gold Coast, through the Middle Passage, to the New World. On the way, he meets strangers, tricksters, and unexpected guides who teach him how to traverse a history of loss and grief, and how to hold those closest to you near.
One Acts: Dirty Martini + Nerve Endings
Arthur Wagner Theatre | May 9-17
Dirty Martini - Written by Katie Đỗ | Directed by Shyama Nithiananda
Nerve Endings - Written by Quentin Nguyen-duy | Directed by Kieran Beccia
DIRTY MARTINI:
Kara and Poppy were best friends - until they weren't. After a mysterious falling out, they reunite and try to rebuild their friendship, but unfinished business keeps getting in the way. What really happened with She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named? And what other secrets are they keeping from one another? DIRTY MARTINI looks at what happens when the people closest to you are not who you think they are and what it really means to be a good friend.
NERVE ENDINGS:
Ansel and Izzy are at a wedding neither of them wants to be at. They’re also stuck in a time loop neither can get out of. Over the course of an evening – or maybe an eternity – they must revisit their situationship, a complicated history, and a lifetime of regrets and unspoken feelings before it's too late. NERVE ENDINGS looks at the cyclical nature of relationships and what it takes to mend a severed connection.
