About the Show:
The High Priestess of Soul shook the world with her powerful music. In the depths of the Civil Rights struggle, Nina Simone used song as a means of expressing the nation’s anguish—and resilience. This deeply personal play with music imagines a conversation among Simone and three other Black women, showing how the iconic chanteuse forged her true calling—and gave voice to a movement.
About the Community Conversation:
Begins after the 5 p.m. Performance
Unapologetically Free – A Journey of Liberation for Black Women
In this enlightening post-show discussion, we turn our focus to the themes explored in our production of Nina Simone: Four Women, centered around the book A Black Woman’s Guide to Getting Free, authored by IRT Community Ambassador and panel moderator Tamara Winfrey-Harris. Joined by a panel of experts, including IRT Ambassadors LaShawnda Crowe-Storm, Manon Voice, and Jessica Louise, they will unpack the six pillars of living free as a Black woman, offering empowering, feminist-driven guidance on how to live authentically and unapologetically.
Together, we’ll explore what liberation means today and how Black women and femmes can navigate and dismantle the stereotypes and expectations imposed by dominant culture. This session promises to be an inspiring journey towards self-discovery and freedom.
