Listen, A Black Woman Is Speaking by Marlow Wyatt

Moving Arts’ Plays in Motion presents Listen, A Black Woman Is Speaking by Marlow Wyatt, directed by Bernadette Speakes. Featuring Juanita Jennings, Tamika Katon-Donegal, Geri-Nikole Love, Camille Ariana Spirlin, with dramaturgy by Dana Schwartz.

Just two days before she is to speak at a predominantly white, conservative women’s luncheon, playwright Penelope Weintraub’s characters start to consume her and force her to perpetrate the most courageous crime a Black woman can commit— speak the truth.

Moving Arts is producing a series of workshops called Plays In Motion. These workshops are a deeper dive into scripts we love with an eye toward future production. A creative team of Director, Dramaturge, Designer and Actors come together with the Playwright to explore the script. The workshop culminates with a “Reading-Plus” performance, incorporating lights, sound, movement and other theatrical elements, all live and in person at the Moving Arts Theatre in Atwater Village.
