Distanced Performance of BLACK SUNDAY

This performance has a mask requirement for audience members as well as a capacity cap and seating chart so that patrons can sit with additional space allocated between parties. Anyone is welcome to attend, but due to very limited capacity, we ask that immunocompromised be given the first chance to reserve.

IT IS APRIL 1935 IN THE DUST STORM-RIDDLED PLAINS OF TEXAS and a family farm is struggling to keep afloat amidst a mounting series of environmental disasters. As Jesús, a new field worker, arrives in their midst, stubborn Pa refuses to believe his land is no longer viable, young Sunny dreams of a new life in bountiful California, and Ma starts having mysterious visions of the future. Developed through TimeLine’s Playwrights Collective, this world premiere by Dolores Díaz offers a startling look at the conflicts surrounding climate change, race, and gender in the days leading up to an infamous dust storm known as Black Sunday.

The house opens for seating on a first-come, first-served basis approximately 30 minutes prior to the performance. We encourage all ticket holders to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to curtain time, especially if you are with a large party. Our home space on Wellington is 99 seats, so there really isn’t a bad seat in the house!
