RUNNING WHILE BLACK by Jahna Ferron-Smith

Matilija Auditorium, California

NEW PLAY WORKSHOP

Sun, Aug 14 at 3:00 pm

Matilija Auditorium

Nicole is an unmarried, nearly 30-year-old Black Creative living in Brooklyn, New York in 2019. How does she stay grounded? She runs. The play follows one Black woman's journey to becoming a consistent, recreational jogger and the circumstances that drove her to that point. The consequences of thirty years' worth of coping mechanisms begin manifesting uncontrollably, as Nicole is finally overwhelmed by the one thing she can't outrun: change.

OPC is now requiring that all event attendees and participants show PROOF OF VACCINATION AND AT LEAST ONE BOOSTER at the door prior to entering the theatre. Also, as previously noted, MASKS MUST BE WORN inside at all OPC events and when engaging with our artists/company members.
