– ABOUT THE SHOW –
A talented and experienced Black actress has been cast in Chaos in Belleville, an anti-lynching play set to open on Broadway. She’s paid her dues throughout the years, playing stereotypical supporting roles in second-rate shows, and is ready for her star turn. Chaos in Belleville, written by a white playwright, might not be quite as enlightening a piece as she’s been hoping for — but that doesn’t mean it won’t sell out. And selling out is the question at the heart of Alice Childress’s comedy-drama. A cast of multigenerational Black actors rehearse under the purview of a white director and stage manager, and as the rehearsal process unfolds, theatre conventions and racial politics collide, resulting in a surprisingly funny yet deeply piercing look at the entertainment industry.

Parking can be tricky at PBTS! We have a few spots in front of our building that fill up fairly quickly. There is parking along Pablo Avenue, which runs parallel to Beach Blvd. There is also a small lot at the corner of 6th Street North and 1st Avenue North. Often, the Church or the City of Jacksonville Beach will also be holding events, creating additional demand for parking. Please plan ahead and arrive early to secure your parking!
