About this Event
Soul Siren Playhouse presents the Midwest Regional Premiere of “Robbin, from the Hood” by Marlow Wyatt. Told with humor, heart and grit, this new work is a bold call to action and unflinching response to contemporary American Capitalism.
Follow Robbin Woods, a sharp-tongued 17 year old African-American math genius, and her loyal best friend, Juan Alvarez, a talented first-generation Mexican-American graphic-design artist; who land coveted spots in a corporate career training program that promises a way out of poverty and life in the inner city. Yet once they begin to climb the ladder of success in the company, they soon discover that their new lives will come at unexpected costs to their families and their neighborhood. As Robbin’s hunger for justice clashes with Juan’s hope for stability, their friendship and futures are tested in what becomes a gripping story about race, class, and the rising price of chasing the American Dream.
A play about Family, Friendship, and Revolution! A play by The People. For The People.
Power to The People! Stand Up!
