🤩Meet our students performing in SHE BELLOWS, which is a production written and directed by Zimkitha Kumbaca.🎭

🖊️ Originally written by Zimkitha Kumbaca, the production is a sharp, satirical, and deeply unsettling exploration of Black womanhood, patriarchy, and systemic gender-based violence. Set in a haunting Doll Factory Expo, the play follows life-sized dolls on a quest to become “real” African women, raising piercing questions: What does it take to become an African woman? And at what cost?

🎟️ Don’t miss the final performance TONIGHT at the Alexander Playhouse at 18:00
Tickets available at Webtickets.
