10 Jun '25

BABY/MOTHER/ETERNITY A New Play (reading) by Jaiie Dayo Aliya !!!OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!!! $5 drink ticket [image: 🍷] Venmo & Cashapp accepted (cash accepted in exact amount) STANDING ROOM ONLY (Donations to the house are welcome.) JUNE 12 7:00 PM (house opens at 6:30) Hosted by Lillie B's House 2431 W. 5th Street Cleveland, OH 44113 Email the word "HOMEFRONT" to hello(a)lilliebshouse.com for guaranteed entry. SYNOPSIS: “In Baby/Mother/Eternity, a surreal, poetic play rooted in Black womanhood and ancestral memory, two women—Sweety and Anna Lisa—circle through time and repetition inside a kitchen haunted by glowing oxtails, absent men, and a phone that won’t stop ringing. As reality bends, humor and dread coexist, blurring the line between the domestic and the divine. Through lyrical dialogue, spiritual rupture, and a search for music long forgotten, the play explores the eternal weight of care, the legacy of survival, and the mystical bond between mother and child. Baby/Mother/Eternity is part kitchen-sink drama, part ritual, part prophecy." -- Courtney L. Black Multidisciplinary Artist (619) 727-3483 https://www.courtneylblack.com/
