N.I.G.G.A.: For Black Boys and the Black Folk Who've Loved Them
Winner of the 93rd annual Eleanor Frost Student Playwriting Competition. A verse novel play about seven Black Boys who enter a seemingly normal barbershop and learn lessons in manhood. The play centers on Black masculinity--its traditional definitions, how Black men embody or adapt aspects of traditional Black masculinity, and challenges to Black masculinity.
Little Circles
Winner of the 93rd annual Eleanor Frost Student Playwriting Competition. The devoted mother, the violent outsider, the prodigal daughter, the closeted son—these are the characters brought back together by a global pandemic. Over several weeks, family ties are tested… and broken.
Performing via distance technology. More information, bios, and a remote performance link are available at the Department of Theater website HERE. Email Theater Dept Administrator Milena Zuccotti with questions about viewing this performance.
