Shine: Illuminating Black Stories

April 24th, 7pm

In the summer of 2020, Barter began collecting stories from our local Black communities as part of our Black in Appalachia Initiative, which seeks to ensure all voices in our region have a platform to be heard and celebrated. Join us for an evening of artistic expression, where Black artists explore their identities and experiences in the Appalachian region we call home.

Monologues & Playwrights

  • The Resting Tree by Miriam Braxton
  • Not Ruby or Linda or Barbara by Darren Canady
  • The Chronicles of Mary White by Vickie L. Evans
  • Bottomless by Terrance Jackson
  • Fixed by Pennie Parker
  • Trains by Quinton Cockrell

This event is part of our Black in Appalachia Initiative, which grew out of our Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights. For more information about our Black in Appalachia Initiative, click here.
