Fifty writers (all women and girls) have had their say, writing a short monologue in response to the powerful statement shaped by curator Morriseau which partially reads, “As Black Women writers, we fulfill a unique and un-duplicated role in theatre. We are telling the stories that represent us with balance and complexity and illuminate our side of the human experience.” Join us for a groundbreaking event that places the diverse, rich and challenging perspectives of women and girls from all walks of life at the center. These stories will be read by an ensemble of women performers in an astounding 90-minute journey of truth, humor and strength. Cast: Pauletta Pearson Washington (Autumn, She's Gotta Have It), Mandi Masden (Law and Order, Blue Prints to Freedom), ​Phyllis Yvonne Stickney (How Stella Got Her Groove Back) ​Celestine Rae (Crazy Famous, Boardwalk Empire), Simone Missick (Luke Cage), ​ ​Marsha Stephanie Blake (Orange Is The New Black, Girls) and more, ​with live music by renowned ​pianist ​and vocalist ​Maritri Garrett.
