Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre’s Gloria Bond Clunie Playwright’s Festival is June 1-2 in the Noyes Cultural Arts Center in Evanston.
Playwright Michael Jones’ “Inheritance-or-Brothers from the Deep” will have a staged reading on June 1 as part of the Gloria Bond Clunie Playwright’s Festival at Evanston’s Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center.
“Boring Black Play” by Jessica Posey will be staged at 4 p.m. on June 1. Tull described it as “this really lovely kind of metatheatrical deconstruction of romantic comedies. It’s commenting on the storytelling that it’s telling.” “This play is ultimately about Jade and her love life and realizing that she is good enough for love,” Posey said. She has to deal with criticism from white voices in her head.Posey wrote the play when she was in college. When her professor told her, “This play isn’t interesting,” Posey said she decided, “Nail on the head!” The 25-year-old playwright added, “If you see this play saying it’s boring, you may be racist.
“I really hate how whenever there are these really gripping Black dramas they have to do with the police and slavery,” Jones said. “I just wanted a family drama about ‘Why my dad don’t love me’ like white people get to have.” “I think that the Fleetwood-Jourdain is going to be a really nice home for this strange little piece before it goes to whoever knows where it will go next,” Jones said.
“It was my form of therapy,” Julot said of writing this play. “I am first generation, born in the U.S. to parents from Haiti. This was three years after the 7.0 magnitude earthquake in 2010. I remember at the time sleeping on my couch for quite some time because I felt guilty sleeping in my bed.”
