Following a pivotal election year, just outside the nation's capital, the staging of Suzan-Lori Parks' The America Play takes on profound significance. This production will illuminate vital aspects of African-American history, resonating deeply with contemporary themes of identity, representation, and belonging. Parks, a trailblazing figure in American theater, shattered barriers as the first African-American woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Her profound insights into the Black experience have earned her recognition as one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people.
