SUMMARY:Staged Reading "Twelve Angry Black Women" by Andrea Ambam
DESCRIPTION:The Billie will continue to celebrate the power of Black storytelling with the bi-annual “Black Narrative”  theater series.\n\n\nFine! I’ll say it. I see y’all are gonna make me say it! Twelve Black women get summoned for jury duty and we ALL make it through – that don’t seem suspicious to you?” – JUROR 12 \n \nSuspicious\, indeed. In TWELVE ANGRY BLACK WOMEN\, a new experimental & speculative play by Andrea Ambam\, the fate of a peculiar and unprecedented case in American history rests in the hands of an all-Black\, all-Femme jury. \nSet within a USA stamped as a backsliding democracy\, TWELVE ANGRY BLACK WOMEN is a theatrical truthtelling experience where satire\, ritual\, and reenactment collide to stress-test American democracy and contemplate the consequences this country would face if Black women voted not with our resilience\, but our righteous rage. \nThis staged reading is directed and choreographed by Obie Award-winner nicHi douglas\, with music composition by Obie Award-winner S T A R R busby. \nMembers of the Jury (cast) include: Kimberly Marable (Hadestown\, Chicago)\, Cassandra Freeman (Bel-Air; Love\, Brooklyn)\, Alfie Fuller (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel\, Deli Boys)\, Tina Fabrique ((pray)\, Reading Rainbow)\, Nile Assata Harris (“The Savior\, the sick\, & the Golden One”)\, N’yomi Allure Stewart (Prince F*ggot\, Cats: The Jellicle Ball)\, Gail Bean (Snowfall\, Table 17)\, DeWanda Wise (She’s Gotta Have It; Love\, Brooklyn)\, Kai Heath (Immediate Family\, On Sugarland)\, Adrianna Mitchell (Fat Ham\, Crutch)\, Bisserat Tseggai (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding\, Succession)\, and Janelle McDermoth (The Fires\, Caught Stealing). \nAfrican American Policy Forum (AAPF)\, led by Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw\, will join the evening as a community partner\, spotlighting their work in defending democracy and fighting against censorship.  \nThis reading is presented in partnership with The Billie Holiday Theatre\, Hi-ARTS\, and Level Forward.  \nYou’ve been summoned.
