3 Day Event

07:30 PM - 9:30 pm

With a commitment to telling Black stories remaining at the core of its DNA, The Billie will continue to center the exploration of the Black Theater canon this season with the inaugural “Black Narrative” Theater Series featuring a mix of solo performances, one-act plays, readings and works-in-progress. Set to become a bi-annual celebration of Black theater, the new series will launch this Fall with three days of performances, readings and conversations that give voice to the African American experience. Events under the Series will include: Award-winning actor, singer and writer Daniel Koa Beaty’s critically acclaimed one-person show, Love Warrior produced by the New Heritage Theatre Group; a collaboration with The Fire This Time Festival (TFTT) to present a special edition with a reading of six 10-minute plays focused on social and political issues impacting the Black community directed by award-winning director and Artistic Director of The Fire This Time Festival Cezar Williams; and a staged reading of works by celebrated playwrights Amiri Baraka (Dutchman) and Aishah Rahman (The Lady and The Tramp) directed by Dominique Rider, to be presented in partnership with CLASSIX  – a collective of five theater artists conceived and founded by director Awoye Timpo to explore the Black performance history and dramatic work by Black writers.
