The Black Rep performs ”Sweat” by Lynn Nottage and gears up for ”Jitney”!

We are always so delighted to talk with Ron Himes, even if it's just for a few minutes in his busy day.  Mr. Himes, Founder and Producer of The Black Rep in St. Louis, was invited along with his cast and crew to perform “Sweat” at the 2022 Inge Festival (Kansas' Official State Playwright Festival in Independence, Kansas) by Lynn Nottage on Friday, April 22nd.  Ms. Nottage is being honored at this Playwright Festival.  You can either go in person this weekend, or you can watch it virtually (link below).  

 

And the cast and crew in St. Louis is in rehearsal for August Wilson's play, Jitney, which opens May 11th, 2022.  There will be more to come about this play, but we were able to chat just a little about it with Mr. Himes!
