Negro Ensemble Company - No Policy, No Justice at Penn Live Arts

Our 23/24 season artist-in-residence, New York’s esteemed Negro Ensemble Company (NEC), performs the world premiere of commissioned one-act plays by Levy Lee Simon and Cynthia Grace Robinson. As part of our season-long focus, the plays will center on the tragedy and trauma of the gun violence epidemic and its disproportionate impact on communities of color. With NEC, “arguably the most successful Black theatre group in the world,” (American Theatre) we seek to elevate these vital conversations and amplify Black voices, stories and perspectives.

Please note, this performance uses prop guns and includes mature content and strong language. 

Playwrights Levy Lee Simon and Cynthia Grace Robinson
Director Ralph McCain
