Encore presentation! Black Women’s Readers Theatre performs the original script “Dissin’ Black Women: The Stories Behind Our Disappearance, Dismissal, Disqualification, Disenfranchisement and Disposability.”
Readers theatre is a style of performance in which the actors present dramatic readings of narrative material without costumes, props, scenery or special lighting. Actors use only scripts and vocal expression to help the audience understand the story. Our production of "Dissin' Black Women" will be performed by these community leaders:
- Mercédès Cannon
- Tabitha Hardy
- Ronda Henry
- Nouri McLucas
- Khalilah Marbury
- Jennifer Thorington Springer
While this is an event that centers Black women, all are welcome to attend. Join us in person Monday, Sep. 24, at 6 p.m. at the Madam Walker Legacy Center.
