THE SEASON
AFRICAN STEW
September 10 - 27, Magic Theatre
Written by: Lisa B. Thompson
Directed by: Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe
A poignant exploration of love, class, culture, and the Black Diaspora, African Stew by Lisa B. Thompson, is a sharp and satirical comedy that brings complex relationships to the table. When an African American middle-class woman and a wealthy Nigerian immigrant announce their engagement after just six months, their families gather for a meal in Oakland. What begins as a celebration soon simmers with tension, as cultural differences, familial expectations, and questions of identity bubble to the surface.

SISTAHFRIEND
True friendship is never a straight line. It grows, it falters, and it survives.
May 16 - 17, Magic Theatre
Written by: Phaedra Tillery-Boughton
Directed by: Margo Hall
For Portia, Kendra, and Sia, friendship has meant showing up through decades of triumphs, heartaches, motherhood, spiritual journeys, and all the messy, beautiful moments it takes to become your truest self. Time and time again, they've weathered it all. But what happens when this sacred friendship between three Black women is shaken to its core?
Drawn from real-life events, playwright Phaedra Tillery-Boughton’s SistahFriend is a new dramatic comedy about love, faith, and the friendships that make us whole. Don't miss this bold New Black Voices Workshop Production—a play about friendship, for anyone who has ever dared to love fiercely.
Sistahfriend is being developed in Lorraine Hansberry Theatre’s New Black Voices Mentorship Program. The program remains central to the company’s mission of uplifting Black female and femme-identifying playwrights, by offering opportunities to develop new works or to showcase them live to new audiences.
