THE AFRICAN HERITAGE CULTURAL ARTS CENTER PRESENTS PULITZER PRIZE WINNING THEATRICAL PLAY “RUINED” , March 9 through Sunday, March 26, 2023

African Heritage Cultural Arts

The African Heritage Cultural Arts Center presents “Ruined" written by Lynn Nottage. Performances will run three weekends for ten shows: Thursday, March 9 through Sunday, March 26, 2023, at the Wendell A. Narcisse Performing Arts Theater at 6161 N.W. 22nd Avenue, Miami, Florida 33142. Tickets range from $30-$35 and are available at AHCACMiami.org.Directed by Khadijah Rolle, the Pulitzer Prize–winning play is haunting, probing work about the resilience of the human spirit during times of war. Set in a small mining town in Democratic Republic of Congo, this powerful play follows Mama Nadi, a shrewd businesswoman in a land torn apart by civil war. But is she protecting or profiting by the women she shelters? How far will she go to survive? Can a price be placed on a human life?Winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize. “RUINED takes us inside an unthinkable reality and into the heads of victims and perpetrators to create a full-immersion drama of shocking complexity and moral ambiguity. What’s more surprising is the exquisite balance the playwright brings—of brutality and poetry, hope and even humor.” —Variety. “Strong and absorbing…a raw and genuine agony pulses within…a cleareyed celebration of endurance.” —NY Times. “Sincere, passionate, courageous and acutely argued, RUINED is a remarkable theatrical accomplishment…” —Chicago Tribune. “In the hands of this talented playwright, what might have been a predictable political polemic instead emerges as a richly stirring and complex drama that even includes generous doses of humor.” —NY Post.Tickets may be purchased at www.AHCACMiami.org. The general admission ticket price is $30. The official opening night and reception is Saturday, March 11, 2023, at 7 p.m., and is priced at $35. For additional information, please call the Center at: (305) 638-6771. The box office opens an hour before show time, and the house opens 15 minutes before show time.
