PUSH PARTY by Nia Akilah Robinson
Directed by Chesray Dolpha

Theaterlab | June 2024

Nia Akilah Robinson’s Push Party is a lively ensemble comedy about six Black women trying to uphold fifteen years of friendship at a post-birthing party in Harlem. All Lelo wants is for this event to go smoothly, but tensions among the group rise and then explode when an unhoused person lands in the community room. Inspired by Black women’s stories of birth and motherhood and by the joys and challenges of life in Harlem, this new play confronts the moments when friendship erodes, when hope starts to falter, when we argue until we laugh, and when Black folk see other Black folk suffering and die a little inside.

Featuring: Mikayla Bartholomew, Brittany Davis, Breezy Leigh, Claudia Logan, Nedra Snipes, and Clarissa Vickerie

The Brick | December 2022

The other day, something happened to Itchy at work. She started itching. On another day, the office of Todd David Design plans an event. An event, as you know, is a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. The theme of the event is eggs. But what is the story of the egg? This is going to be an indelible, one-of-a-kind experience for Mark, Joanna, their company Juvenescence, the guests, the itch, the crease of your elbow, your armpits, your itch, your knees, and the back of your scalp. Just watch out for the art, okay? Don't touch anything if you're not sure. 

Featuring: Dee Beasnael, Brian Bock, Julia Greer, Claire Siebers, Derek Smith, Zuzanna Szadkowski, Haley Wong

Missing almonds, empty apologies, and a pizza box in the recycling bin that clearly belongs in the trash. When space is at a premium, there’s no room for weak links. The Commons is a play about living with strangers and the things that seem small, until they aren’t.
