J.E. Franklin’s brilliant contemporary drama 'Black Girl' exploded onto the Off-Broadway stage at the historic Theatre de Lys complex in 1971, running for an astonishing, record-shattering 247 performances and winning the Drama Desk Award. The textually rich naturalistic tragedy unfolds inside a cramped family home in a small Texas town, tracking Billie Jean, an independent teenage girl who struggles against severe familial sabotage, structural biases, and generational rifts to conquer her dreams of becoming a professional dancer. Directed by Shauneille Perry.
