Amid the creative swirl of the Harlem Renaissance, a close-knit group of friends find themselves at a crossroads. Angel, a recently fired and newly single Cotton Club singer, is faced with choosing between a Parisian life of adventure with her costume designer friend Guy and a stable marriage with Leland, a suitor who has just arrived in New York from down south. Little does she know that her decision will have shocking consequences and change the lives of everyone around her forever.
"The Wash" by Kelundra Smith is a new, homegrown play inspired by the Atlanta Washerwomen's Strike of 1881. Just weeks before the International Cotton Exposition swept into the city, these bold women took a stand, demanding the right to set their own wages. Delve into this intimate and often humorous story about ordinary women who fought the system and won. The play will be presented at Synchronicity Theatre in Midtown, June 7-30 and Impact Theatre at the Academy in Hapeville, July 10-28. "The Wash" includes an all women cast and creative team of local artists.
Join us at 6:30 p.m. June 19 at Synchronicity Theatre and July 19 at the Academy Theatre for Indigo Nights, featuring food from Atlanta-based African American chefs an hour before the 7:30 p.m. performance. Wear your favorite shade of blue!
Attend a special pre-show discussion at Synchronicity Theatre on June 12 at 6 p.m., Creating Women | BIPOC Playwrights: New Plays, New Ways featuring local Black women playwrights.
