WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Every year since Emancipation, the Nacirema Society of Montgomery, Alabama introduces six elegant African-American debutants to a world of wealth, privilege and social responsibility. This year, at its 100th anniversary, with young love brewing, old flames simmering and national media attention on hand. . . what would dare to go awry? A sparkling new romantic comedy.
Pearl Cleage, award winning playwright of Blues for an Alabama Sky and Flyin' West, and New York Times best-selling author of Oprah book club selection What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day, invites you into this glamorous world where folks still dress for dinner. For the ladies of the Nacirema Society, bus boycotts and freedom marches don't hold a candle to the importance of making the perfect entrance… or plotting the perfect blackmail.

RE:A Delightful Privileged Society!
Though Ive read novels and plays by playwright/novelist Pearl Cleage, I never saw one of her productions until seeing The Nacirema Society. It was a truly delightful show. The stage setting was beautiful and the actors were terrific, playing snooty, privileged characters to the hilt. The first act sparkled, but it seemed a bit long and extra chatty, but the the pacing of the second act was terrific. Seeing privileged African Americans on stage is rare, so it was an absolute joy to see this very funny and witty performance. The theater is lovely and very comfortable. Id love to see more work by Pearl Cleage at the Alliance Theatre.
