SPARK is thrilled to announce our next benefit play at the Horizon Theatre, Hallelujah Street Blues by Valetta Anderson , which tackles the
complicated issue of gentrification in the South. We hope this play
will spark conversations about how housing, gentrification,
geographical location, class, gender and race are connected to
reproductive justice and often impact people's reproductive health.
Last year's play SOLD OUT! So get your tickets now!
Description: A feisty matriarch and her family face off with each other
and their changing neighborhood in this multi-generational
comedy-drama. Elderly Josephine just wants some peace and quiet to live
out her days and sip sweet tea. But the neighborhood is abuzz with
renovators and speculators, and the house itself starts to burst at the
seams when her adult children descend to fuss and fight over mama. When
their street is threatened by a large new development, Josephine and
family must rally or risk losing their beloved house and neighborhood. "
A World Premiere, Hallelujah Street Blues is a part of the New South Play Festival. New plays. New writers. New voices from the South. Now in its eighth
year, the New South Festival, is at the forefront of developing and
showcasing new work by Southern writers.
Tickets: $25 (sliding scale - no one will be turned away for lack of funds). Reserve yours today!
Can't make it? Consider donating a ticket(s) for talented youth in Georgia. SPARK is working for the 2nd year in a row to provide tickets for a group of 25 young women and their chaperones. Last year we were able to get every ticket donated--Thank You!
Let's make sure SPARK never has to turn anyone away due to lack of funds and ensure that our entire community can be part of this work.
