BLKS by Aziza Barnes
Winner of 2020 Antonyo Award for Best Play and Nominee for 2020 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play–Richmond Triangle Players presents BLKS by Aziza Barnes, Directed by Nora Ogunleye.
“When sh*t goes down, your girls show up. Waking up to a shocking and personal health scare, Octavia and her best friends, June and Imani, go on a crusade to find intimacy and joy in a world that could give a f**k less about them or their feelings. This 24-hour blitz explores what it is to be a queer blk woman in 2015 New York, how we survive and save ourselves from ourselves.” This funny, hard-hitting play explores themes of race, addiction, adulthood, and identity. Starring Zakiyyah Jackson, Sydnee Graves, Journey Entzminger, Terra Comer, Emma Rossettini, & Demond Middleton II; running September 16 – October 10.
