WORLD PREMIERE
SEPTEMBER 4 – OCTOBER 4, 2026
BLACK GIRL FROM A WHITE SUBURB
written & performed by artistic affiliate Tania Richard
directed by J. Nicole Brooks
Adapted from her memoir, Black Girl from a White Suburb: Finding My Light, Using My Voice. Signed copies will be available for purchase at the box office.
Tour-de-force solo show by Tania Richard. Growing up in an all-white Chicago suburb, she spent her days dodging microaggressions, striving to fit in, and yearning to see herself reflected. Her transformation began when cast as The Caterpillar in “Alice in Wonderland.” Blending cautionary tales, social commentary, and humor, Tania takes the leading role in a culture that often relegates Black women to supporting characters.
