So, for this final production, the Greenhouse team invites the talent of its diverse and vibrant peers to propagate their work on the Cab stage one last time before the summer closes.

Time and time again, Black people find ways to communicate in spaces where they weren’t allowed to. We communicate through hair, art, music, dance, food, and even a head nod, a smile at the other Black person in the room. We find a way to speak. This play follows Haddie as she flashes through lifetimes of Blackness, finding her way to speak, finding her way to freedom.
