SUMMARY:Double Bill: Dark Red by: Willow Cioppa & Cry Baby by: Kalale Dalton-Lutale
DESCRIPTION:For the first time ever\, Black Theatre Workshop & Playwrights’ Workshop Montreal will be presenting 2 one-act plays in a special Double Bill presentation at the MAI (Montréal\, arts interculturels). BTW places the spotlight on two of our Artist Mentorship Program playwright alumni’s recent work. \nAbout Dark Red by Willow Cioppa \nCalliope is a young woman on the cusp of a complete meltdown. Alone in her apartment\, she writes a single letter addressing every man she’s ever fucked\, blurring them all together to create one beast\, representative of all her trauma. Addressing this man in a vulgar\, crass\, and brutally honest text\, Calliope unravels her experiences of heartache and abuse\, searching for closure in songs\, books\, memories\, and liquor. Dark Red is a viscous\, textural exploration of what it means to lick our own wounds and heal ourselves\, moving past our brokenness and reclaiming our pain in order to move forward. \nAbout Cry Baby by Kalale Dalton-Lutale. \nSo you have these memories\, right? And they’re all sort of hanging above your head like a tangled mobile. Pieces of songs that remind you of your dad in college\, the smell of chlorine\, your mother’s hand writing\, a card you made for your sister. \nIn Kalale Dalton-Lutale’s Cry baby we watch as a young woman unravels. Relying on her personal archive as source material\, Dalton-Lutale’s (2016) work offers the audience a non-linear piece of theatre. By resurrecting the archive\, she unveils the framework of love that has shaped her into the person she is today. Prompted by falling in love for the first time\, the playwright reflects on her own Blackness\, family\, and womanhood. Cry baby asks us “how can we be whole when a part of us is missing?”

SUMMARY:Morgan Parker Launches Who Put This Song On? w/ Monique Polak
DESCRIPTION:Morgan Parker (Magical Negro\, There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonce) talks about her first young adult novel\, Who Put This Song On?\, in an on-stage interview with author Monique Polak (The Taste of Rain). \nABOUT THE BOOK :\nIn the vein of powerful reads like The Hate U Give and Girl in Pieces\, comes poet Morgan Parker’s pitch-perfect novel about a black teenage girl searching for her identity when the world around her views her depression as a lack of faith and blackness as something to be politely ignored. \nTrapped in sunny\, stifling\, small-town suburbia\, seventeen-year-old Morgan knows why she’s in therapy. She can’t count the number of times she’s been the only non-white person at the sleepover\, been teased for her “weird” outfits\, and been told she’s not “really” black. Also\, she’s spent most of her summer crying in bed. So there’s that\, too. \nLately\, it feels like the whole world is listening to the same terrible track on repeat—and it’s telling them how to feel\, who to vote for\, what to believe. Morgan wonders\, when can she turn this song off and begin living for herself?\nLoosely based on her own teenage life and diaries\, this incredible debut by award-winning poet Morgan Parker will make readers stand up and cheer for a girl brave enough to live life on her own terms—and for themselves.
