Robert O'Hara to Direct New York Premiere of Aziza Barnes's BLKS

Robert O'Hara (Bootycandy) will direct the MCC Theater New York premiere of BLKS by Aziza Barnes. The production will run April 18, 2019-May 26, 2019, in the Newman Mills Theater, part of MCC Theater's new Hell's Kitchen home opening next season.

MCC Theater describes the play as follows: "BLKS introduces us to Octavia, Imani, and June – three twentysomethings in New York City hunting for intimacy and purpose in a city that doesn't seem to care. They drink a lot. They smoke a lot. They try to have sex. A lot. When they need each other the most, the women rally to 'resurrect their fly' in a day full of humorous and painful attempts to be heard through the noise that surrounds them."

Full casting will be announced at a later date.
