SUBURBAN BLACK GIRL by Zakiya Young

Matilija Auditorium, California

NEW PLAY WORKSHOP

Fri, Aug 12 at 6:00 pm

Matilija Auditorium

Zakiya Young: poster child for racial reconciliation. She code switches with lightning speed. White sorority? Like, no prob. A Black and Latino church with a White pastor? She’ll praise God in Spanish! Broadway? Is it color blind casting or an all-Black show? Doesn’t matter because this suburban Black girl has mastered the art of being ‘non-threatening.’ But when COVID lockdowns put a spotlight on police killing unarmed Black people, everything she suppressed begins seeping out like an infected wound. 

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.
