some life

Mia Paschal returns with some life, her one-woman play examining 13 facets of a black woman in these United States as she explores her perception of how others perceive her and how she perceives herself.

A woman finds herself reflected in unexpected mirrors: black blondes and Harriet Tubman in Hollywood, a hard woman among strong ones in a Queens hospital ward, the syzygy of Brancusi, clothespins, and Billie Holiday’s smile, betrayal in a stranger’s bedroom, the morning after a drunken one night stand, Harvard and molar-sized diamonds at a Potrero Hill BBQ, and one very industrious, very tiny little spider on her ceiling.
