Event Details

Hallelujah Street BluesSPARK 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 FestivalNew 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.
