Description: all black. all gay. all in love.
An adaptation of Anondra “Kat” Williams’ book of short stories and poetry, black girl love looks at the everyday lives of black queer women and non-binary people. It’s a play about our relationships to love, sex, and obsession. In the tradition of a choreo-poem, the show is non-linear and uses original poetry by Williams. black girl love captures the mundane and precious stories of black queer women and non-binary people who have been so long ignored in American theatre. The VORTEX and GenEnCo are pleased to produce this new play by Al(aina) L. Monts for three weeks only at The VORTEX.
