✨TOMORROW ONLY!!✨
An incredible free event not to be missed!🔥🎭

Ebony Repertory Theatre presents Undersiege, a monumental collective work centering the voices and experiences of Black women and femmes, Sunday October 4th at 2PM. (RSVP at link in bio)

Undersiege features a dynamite cast of actresses under the direction of Andi Chapman.

Curated by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage and Tony Award-nominated playwright and MacArthur Fellow Dominique Morisseau, Undersiege was conceived in response to the continued silencing, displacement, and forced departure of Black women and femme leaders across American institutions.

The project emerged from a conversation between Nottage and Morisseau following the resignation of Hana Sharif from Arena Stage and amid a broader erosion of Black femme leadership across sectors. From Black women dismissed from positions in the federal government to the silencing and forced resignations of university presidents, politicians, civil servants, educators, and artistic directors, the playwrights felt compelled to respond through a collective act of creative resistance.

Undersiege is presented as part of Fall of Freedom, a nationwide movement bringing artists, cultural institutions, and communities together through acts of creative expression.

See you there!✨
