Schedule of Plays
Saturday June 1
4:00pm - BORING BLACK PLAY by Jessica Posey, directed by Melissa Golden
Jade, a young Black writer, struggles to write a story that feels true to her. White voices “offer” criticism in Jade’s head and cause her further stress as she feels pressured to appeal to them. As she gets caught up in appealing to others instead of following her, she grapples with the relationships in her real life, too.
7:30pm - INHERITANCE -OR- BROTHERS FROM THE DEEP by Michael Jones,
directed by Jamal Howard
Two brothers go on a fishing trip at night to speak of their childhood and tumultuous relationship with their father.

3:00pm - 3 SISTERS FORCED TO FACE THE SKY by Nehanda Julot, directed by Aurelia Clunie
Three sisters are abandoned yet again. This time it's Haiti. Three years after the earthquake. From politics to orgasms, personalities clash between those who left Haiti and those decided to stay behind. In one night, these sisters discover that while the rest of the world may have forgotten, they are forced to remember.
