About this Event

IU Indianapolis Black Women's Taskforce presents:

Dissin’ Black Women | Black Women's Readers Theatre

Tuesday, Sep. 24, 2024, at 6 p.m. Doors 5:30 p.m.

Madam Walker Legacy Center

Free and open to the public

CEUs available*

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.

*2.5 Behavioral Health and Human Services / 2.5 CYC-P Cultural & Human Diversity Continuing Education Units Approved
