HANG TIME

March 5-27, 2023

Three men chew the fat under an old, wide tree. In HANG TIME, we peek into the interiority – the great loves and bitter blues – of Black men in America. Setting the romantic and the macabre in sharp relief, HANG TIME invites the viewer to envisage the living Black body triumphant over the legacy of violence that it holds. Written and directed by Pulitzer Prize Finalist Zora Howard in her directorial debut, HANG TIME is a deeply moving and subversive work not to be missed.

“This dance of rigor mortis is a master work of small intricacies… [Zora] Howard writes her characters into a Möbius strip of trauma and injustice that is Black American history.”

- Maya Phillips, New York Times
