JEZELLE THE GAZELLE continues Playing on Air's yearlong celebration of MacArthur 'Genius Grant' winner Dominique Morisseau (The Detroit Project, Pipeline, Ain't Too Proud — The Life and Times of the Temptations).
Jezelle is ready to prove that she's the best runner on her block: young, fierce, and definitely faster than any boy. But is she fast enough to outrun grief and claim her greatness? Starring Mirirai Sithole (School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play, "Black Mirror"), JEZELLE THE GAZELLE by Dominique Morisseau is directed by Goldie E. Patrick (Detroit Public Theatre, Kennedy Center).
This clear-eyed coming of age story — originally created for the 10 x 10 Festival at American Theater Company — was recorded live at New York's Pershing Square Signature Center in November 2019. Stay tuned after the performance for an onstage conversation between the artists and host Claudia Catania.
