Ruth’s Tea Room, an original play by Bleu Do’zia, premieres at Selah Theatre Project in Middletown, Virginia, inviting audiences into the nostalgic world of a historic Black-owned business. The story follows Azi Wells, portrayed by Do’zia, as she returns to her hometown to say farewell to Ruth’s Tea Room, where shared memories reflect the establishment's profound impact on its community. The cast features Pamela Foster, Peter Hibl, Eric Ibarra, Eric Lee Santiful, Joanna Schilling, Ariel Scott, and Joanne Thompson as Ms. Vivienne, all contributing to a narrative that explores themes of grief, love, and inclusivity. Audiences will have the opportunity to engage in post-show discussions about the play's themes and artistic process.
