Little Shasha

  • Onward Theatre 711 Catherine Street Southwest Atlanta, GA, 30310 United States (map)

It's 1993 in Irvington, NJ: a charming but crumbling ghetto suburb.  Black American ghetto's have long been the epicenter of cool, especially in the 90's. It was the height of Jordans, Adidas, LL cool J ... it's a culture that Black immigrants know nothing of. This story is about Little Shasha, a first generation Haitian preteen who desperately wants to be a part of cool Black American culture while trying to find a symbiotic relationship with her own. Throughout the series we see her defend, neglect and come to terms with who she is and who she wants to be.

This event is a reading of a new sitcom developed by Shakirah DeMesier.

25% of proceeds will be donated to GIVE TO HAITI
