The Pearl Merchant

Threads Theater Company is proud to present the world premiere of The Pearl Merchant by Brie Walker. This new play centers around Hannah, a painter and teacher, unable to bear a child, whose desire to adopt a boy from her preschool classroom forces her to confront her assumptions about God, marriage, and race. Thoughtful, poetic, and layered, The Pearl Merchant brings the audience deep questions and glimpses of great hope.

This is an Equity Approved Showcase
