Following a sold-out run in CPT’s quintessential new play development series Test Flight, Showin' Up Black is back
with a full production and continuing to play to sold-out performances!
Description:
On the eve of their daughter's cotillion, the Hopegoodes, an affluent African American family in Cleveland, see their plans for the perfect debutante ball collide with a Black Lives Matter protest. As the protest gets nearer, secrets and competing desires
get shaken loose, tearing at the fabric of the family, challenging what, exactly, it is to be Black.
