Host: Pillsbury House + Theatre
Pillsbury House Theatre is ecstatic to return to live in-person theatre with Aleshea Harris’ What to Send Up When it Goes Down, the directorial debut of PHT’s new Artistic Producer, Signe V. Harriday!
Part ritual and part theatrical experience, "What to Send Up When it Goes Down" is a fiercely innovative play that sets out to disrupt the pervasiveness of anti-blackness and rejoice in the resilience of Black People throughout history. Using monologues, scenes, songs and discussion the play offers space for examination, reflection and ultimately a cathartic cleansing of harm caused by anti-blackness that permeates us all.
This play was created for a Black audience but all are welcome. The intention of the play is to create a space for as many Black-identifying audience members as possible.
Pick-your-price tickets are on sale now. Performances take place outdoors in the PHT parking lot at 3519 Chicago Ave. Audiences are highly encouraged to bring their own seating. Each show will be capped at 50 people.
