Daughters of Lorraine Season 3 Episode 9: Put Some Respect on Black Theatre with Lisa B. Thompson

Jordan Ealey and Leticia Ridley of Daughters of Lorraine, a black feminist theatre podcast, interview award-winning and acclaimed playwright Dominique Morisseau on her recent Broadway productions of Ain’t Too Proud and Skeleton Crew, the future of Detroit theatre and performance, and reckoning with American history.

Daughters of Lorraine Season 3 Episode 8: Dominique Morisseau’s Practice of the Possible

This episode is inspired by recent and current events regarding Roe v. Wade and their potential impact on birthing people. We think about the representation of reproductive justice (things such as abortion, contraception, and anything regarding decisions to birth or plan a family) especially from Black women playwrights. We discuss plays such as They That Sit in Darkness by Mary Burrill, Rachel by Angelina Weld Grimke, Come Down Burning by Kia Corthron, In the Blood by Suzan-Lori Parks, and Abortion Road Trip by Rachel Lynett.
