SUMMARY:In the Works: Equal & Terrifying by Kimberly Dixon-Mays
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Gift Theatre’s next In The Works Staged Reading! \n\n\nEqual & Terrifying \nby Kimberly Dixon-Mays \nDirected by AmBer Montgomery \n\n\n\nPerformed by Shanésia Davis and Netta Walker\nMonday\, October 7 at 7:00 pm\nFilament Theatre\, 4041 N Milwaukee Ave.\n  \nAndrea\, a reclusive middle-aged visual artist\, has her work and life interrupted when Sophie\, a late friend’s twenty-something daughter\, comes looking for answers about her mother’s past. Andrea has no patience\, and Sophie has no filter. Worse\, the two get stuck in Andrea’s studio and a supernatural vicious cycle. They fight this unseen force to define what connection they owe each other\, and what escape looks like. This play is inspired by the “history repeating” nature not only of America’s 21st C. racial upheaval\, but also the timeless tensions between generations. \n  \nIn The Works is presented at no cost to audiences. Please RSVP to boxoffice@thegifttheatre.org to guarantee a seat\, or show up the evening of!
