Presented in Collaboration with Black Theatre Ensemble

A sharp and riotously comic satire, this urban parable is about the dangers of disingenuous self-creation. Undine Barnes Calles is living her version of the American Dream until her husband disappears with her fortune. Bankrupt and pregnant, she is forced to confront the past she tried desperately to kill. Fashioned with dynamic theatricality and surprising warmth, this contemporary tale of comeuppance promises to transport audiences with humor and humanity.

In the Walsh Black Box

In the Blood is Suzan-Lori Park’s groundbreaking riff on The Scarlet Letter. We journey with Hester La Negrita and her five children as they negotiate the perils of poverty and debilitating systems, while clinging to familial joy. Gut-wrenching and heartbreaking, yet oddly humorous in moments, the play is an example of Park’s mastery of penetrating language and probing action.

Black Theatre Ensemble's production of In the Blood will be having its production staff General Interest Meeting on Wednesday November 28th at 8pm in Walsh 398. If you are interested in learning more about theater, earning class credit or if you are a 'prod staff pro' come to the meeting and see how you can get involved! (NO experience necessary).
