The Divine Order of Becoming

Written by MPAACT resident playwright Carla Stillwell and directed by Kimberly Crutcher, The Divine Order of Becoming continues MPAACT’s commitment this season to present works conceived and directed by Black women. The Divine Order of Becoming takes place in the moment when life takes a sharp, distinct turn. With poetry, prose, and the conjuring of memory’s past, we watch a young woman struggle to let go of the relationship that she and her mother developed during her 20’s. We mourn with her as she applies the lessons passed to her through lecture, argument, and out right silliness to rise above the pain of loss.
