About this Event
The Obsidian Room
A Modern Juke Joint Experience
Step into The Obsidian Room — an immersive evening of music, storytelling, art, and collective giving inspired by the spirit of the classic juke joint and reimagined through a modern Black artistic lens.
Hosted inside Ujamaa Community Bookstore, this intimate fundraising experience brings together live performances, soulful conversation, theatrical storytelling, and community connection in support of Black Obsidian: The Stage Play.
Guests can expect an elevated atmosphere featuring:
• Live music
• Featured performances
• Cast scene reading from Black Obsidian
• Small bites & drinks
• Community conversation
• A warm, speakeasy-inspired environment celebrating Black artistry and culture
Hosted by Bryan Ball, creator of the award winning play, "Black Obsidian", this evening serves as both a cultural experience and a fundraising effort supporting the continued production and growth of the stage play ahead of its upcoming productions and future IndyFringe Festival appearance.
Whether you come for the music, the storytelling, the atmosphere, or simply to support independent Black art, The Obsidian Room invites you into a space rooted in culture, community, and connection.
