GEN

Written by Makaela Shealy-Sachot

Directed by Melissa Mowry

GEN is a play that follows the lineage through the womxn of a family on St. Helena Island in South Carolina. Years swirl around everyone who enters this house as they navigate embedded fears, white fragility, “southern” womxnhood and the ignorance with which we often follow our ancestors into the dark. This is a play about family (chosen or blood), about the ties that bind, and what lengths we will go to in order to keep them intact -- or precisely what it takes to sever them for good.

Content Warnings: physical violence, intergenerational trauma, hiding sexuality (in 1990s), substance abuse, death (murder), appropriation & misinterpretation of Gullah culture. Please take care while watching or listening.
