Death in a Beulah Box

Home Death in a Beulah Box

beulah-slider

November 4 to November 29, 2015

(performances run Thursdays at 7:30pm, Friday at 7:30pm,  Saturdays at 4:00pm and 7:30pm, and Sundays at 3:00pm)

Opening: November 6 at 7:30pm

The place – a “beulah box”, the ubiquitous raggedy beauty salon of Chicago’s South Side. The people – three “transplants,” or African Americans who have escaped to the queer-friendly North Side. What draws each back here, to the dangerous place where they grew up? Death in a Beulah Box is a pressure cooker of the psychological wounds of racism, and how African Americans’ choices over healing those wounds, or not, pit them against each another.
