From Healing to Empowerment, A Black Woman Evolves in Real Time
Playwright Champagne Hughes is an artist in transition, full of questions, doubts, and boundless determination. Through immersive storytelling, therapeutic techniques, interactive call-and-response, and ceremonial songs and dance, Hughes sets out to reclaim her story, expel her trauma, and invite audiences to bear witness and do the same.
Based on real-life experiences navigating personal, artistic, and academic spaces, Hughes' (NO MORE) adjustments explores the imperfectly cathartic act of creating live theater, asking you into her heart and mind as she traces one Black woman's journey from healing to empowerment, all on stage, in real time.
Hughes' work is being supported by LHT's New Black Voices Mentorship Program, which provides developmental and production opportunities for emerging Black female and femme-identifying playwrights to receive support and mentorship while creating socially impactful pieces relevant to their communities- from initial inspiration, to completed script, to a fully realized production.
$20- $65.
Presented by Lorraine Hansberry Theatre.
May 1-3 at 8pm, May 4-5 at 4pm
