Sistas on Fire! A Newsical
By Marcia McNair and Anissa D. Moore

The personal becomes the political when passionately-opinionated African American women speak their minds on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Black Lives Matter, missing black women and girls, black-on-black crime, and male/female relationships in a soul-stirring mix of song, dance, poetry, and prose. The interrelated dramatic monologues range from tragedy to comedy in a “newsical” revue that examines pressing social issues from an African-American female perspective. Sistas on Fire! A Newsical uses theatre to provoke thought, encourage social activism, and build bridges that cross race, class, gender, and culture. In short, it's For Colored Girls for the New Millennium.
The play opens at the East Village Playhouse from February 22nd to March 17th.
