Coalescence Theatre Project in conjunction with the Black Artist's League of ISU announces our production of PANTHER WOMEN: An Army For The Liberation. This Jeff Award-nominated play by award-winning playwright, India Nicole Burton, will be directed by Myesha-Tiara, artistic director of Perceptions Theatre and a Jeff Award recommended director in 2023 and also nominated for the 2023 Black Excellence Awards by the Black Arts and Cultural Alliance of Chicago. This will be an exciting opportunity to have access to a professional director and playwright of their caliber. Both of them are on the upswing in their careers. PANTHER WOMEN: An Army for the Liberation follows one woman’s journey to self-discovery through the stories of three prominent women who were members of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Movement. This high-energy movement piece with poetry, monologues, dance, and song explores the dilemmas, obstacles, and joy of African American Women, chronicling the lifelong pursuit of justice by some of the founding women of the Civil Rights Movement.
