Dissin’ Black Women | Black Women’s Readers Theatre

IU Indianapolis Black Women’s Taskforce presents:

Dissin’ Black Women | Black Women’s Readers Theatre

Tuesday, Sep. 24, 2024, at 6 p.m. Doors 5:30 p.m.
Madam Walker Legacy Center
Free and open to the public

Encore presentation! Black Women’s Readers Theatre performs the original script “Dissin’ Black Women: The Stories Behind Our Disappearance, Dismissal, Disqualification, Disenfranchisement and Disposability.”

Readers theatre is a style of performance in which the actors present dramatic readings of narrative material without costumes, props, scenery or special lighting. Actors use only scripts and vocal expression to help the audience understand the story. Our production of “Dissin’ Black Women” will be performed by these community leaders:

• Mercédès Cannon
• Tabitha Hardy
• Ronda Henry
• Nouri McLucas
• Khalilah Shabazz
• Jennifer Thorington Springer

Following the theatre presentation, we will migrate to the ballroom for a post-performance discussion. This will be a space to debrief, learn and share in community.

While this is an event that centers Black women, all are welcome to attend. Join us in person Monday, Sep. 24, at 6 p.m. at the Madam Walker Legacy Center.
