2. The New Black Fest’s HANDS UP: 7 Playwrights, 7 Testaments

Following the police killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and John Crawford III in Beavercreek, Ohio, among many others, The New Black Fest commissioned seven emerging Black playwrights to write a collection of monologues that explore their feelings about the well-being of Black people in a culture of institutional profiling.An incredible all-Black cast of Charlotte actors, under the direction of Quentin Talley, will bring these stories to life in this electric virtual theatre event. For three nights only, you will have a front row seat (from the comfort of your own home) as the artists perform live from the Duke Energy Theatre at Spirit Square.
Ages: This show contains adult language and themes, including discussion of trauma to Black Americans, recommended for ages 16+.
