Activity Description
THE HIGH PRIESTESS OF DARK ALLEY
written and directed by Jackie Alexander.
Two sisters, one robbed of her sexuality, the other defined by it, do battle with their domineering mother over the men they love. THE HIGH PRIESTESS OF DARK ALLEY is an intriguing dramatic/comedy for teens (13) and up.
THE HIGH PRIESTESS OF DARK ALLEY is premiering worldwide at the Billie Holiday Theatre, so you'll be the first to see the newest work of this acclaimed playwright and director. Jackie Alexander's previous works at Billie Holiday Theatre as writer/director were 2007's THE DESIRE, and 2008's BIRTHRIGHT. As an actor, audiences were treated to him in past productions of Barberdashers, Storm Stories and this past fall's hit comedy, Four Men On A Couch.
The show will take place in the 200- seat Billie Holiday Theatre, named after the legendary singer Billie Holiday, which has served as the training ground of notable, aspiring theater professionals.
Described as a theatre with a "soul and a mission," this intimate performance space has produced productions and special programs that address social issues of concern and interest to the African-American and Caribbean-American communities.
