AFROFEMONONOMY is a real supergroup of Black female theatermakers. And I mean "super": Jackie Sibblies Drury, Kaneza Schall, Eisa Davis, Charlotte Braithwaite, and Joie Lee are just a few of the participants. Here they're paying tribute to a perhaps underappreciated pillar of Black female theatermaking, playwright Kathleen Collins. There's an outdoor installation called Last night I dreamt I danced in the image of God and a performance called The Reading.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Very appealing neighborhood Malaysian (sambal on everything!) at Medan Pasar.
