About this Event

A DAY OF ABSENCE (Happy Ending) the Hit StagePlay

Come laugh cry and become revolutionized at this satirical and racially charged comedic drama about 2 sisters, who are maids and laundress, for a wealthy southern family during segregation. Their HAPPY ENDING ironically starts when the sisters learn that their family livelihood is at stake.

The sisters are faced with the grim prospect of the dissolution of the household—which Ellie and Vi rely on to maintain their lives more than the Harrisons realize.

When one of the sisters’ husbands opens a gift to celebrate new found stability, A DAY OF ABSENCE mysteriously occurs, all of the Black residents of an unnamed Southern town suddenly disappear, leaving the white residents to fend for themselves.

Witness an incredible performance that will leave you feeling inspired and entertained. Get ready for a night full of laughter, emotions, and powerful storytelling. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind event!
