AMANI

Rattlestick Theater, New York City

About the Show

Amani grows up building a rocket ship with her father, who vows to make it to outer space: where his child can breathe easy, where there are no gangs to take his first love’s life, nor prisons to take Black boys’ best years. As Amani moves into adulthood, she seeks her voice and her own dreams. Will Amani make it to the moon?

Covid-19 Safety Protocol: Patrons must be masked at all times while in the theater. Proof of vaccination not required.

Accessibility: Please note that entrance to the theater requires a 17-step walkup, with additional steps inside the theater leading to the seating area and bathroom. Please also note that seating is a mixture of traditional theater seats and bar height chairs for visibility. Priority seating in the traditional theater seats should go to patrons whose access needs prevent them from being able to sit comfortably in a bar height chair. The performance utilizes loud noises, haze, and flashing lights.

Pay-What-You-Can: We at Rattlestick and NBT are committed to financial accessibility. Every Wednesday, patrons are free to choose between 5 different pricing tiers, ranging from $1.00 to $30.00 with a $4.50 fee.

The run time is approximately 2 hours with no intermission.

Your ticket(s) will be available at the box office under your name 20 minutes prior to showtime. Please keep in mind that there is no late seating. Seating is general admission.
