In TWELVE ANGRY BLACK WOMEN the fate of a peculiar and unprecedented case in American history rests in the hands of an all-Black, all-Femme jury.
Set within a USA stamped as a backsliding democracy, TWELVE ANGRY BLACK WOMEN is a theatrical truthtelling experience where satire, ritual, and reenactment collide to stress-test American democracy and contemplate the consequences this country would face if Black women voted not with our resilience, but our righteous rage.
