A NOTE FROM PLAYWRIGHT: ON

THEATRE

ETIQUETTE

this here is a free, Blk space. this here be both jook joint & storefront baptist church.

this be a second

line & a homegoin service. tonight, i invite you to get free. what i mean is:

you are free to participate

both physically & audibly.

we are gathered here—in front of God & everybody—to create a moment together. in doing so, you are

free to sway in your seat, gasp, laugh, cry, offer an “amen” or a “that’s right!” or a “mmph,” should the

music or the spirit move you. while walking in this freedom, please keep in mind that the actors have

come to tell a story & the audience has come to hear & watch this story. consider using a range of

vocalization. remember, ain’t no harm to moan.

you are free to bear collective

witness & be collectively witnessed.

after all, this is the nature of a jook joint & one of the purposes of church, of community.

in this place we take Blk suffering as seriously as Blk joy. we know the two be intimately

yoked for dispossessed peoples. you are free to stop pretendin not to know this truth.

you are free of judgement. here, we disrupt the culture of policing.

be free to bring your full self into this space & accept that everyone else here is free to do the same.

for the love & liberation of My People,

Erika Dickerson-Despenza

1. Many thanks to Dominique Morisseau & her bravery for pioneering the articulation of how audiences should engage with her work,

prompting me to do the same.

2. The word “jook” is etymologically derived from the Gullah word “juk,” meaning

disorderly

. jook joints & Blk baptist churches (or

church-like places) are historically spaces where Blk folks freely socialize & worship as their full selves amid the horrors of slavery,

jim & jane crow & other oppressive institutions.

3. In her essay, “The Education of a Storyteller,” Toni Cade Bambara recalls being asked, “What are you pretending not to know today,

Sweetheart?” by Grandma Dorothy, an elder community member who taught her critical theory, encouraging her to “rise to quit being triing.”

ALL WATER HAS A PERFECT

MEM RY AND IS FOREVER TRYING

TO GET BACK TO WHERE IT WAS.

In “The Site of Memory,” Toni Morrison reminds us of the relationship between crafting tales of

remembrance and oodwaters. Like rerouted waters returning to their place of being, writers are

tasked with reminding us of the truth of what is, has been, and will be.

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall and devastated communities along the Gulf

Coast, including New Orleans. There are those who remember Hurricane Katrina as a “natural

disaster.” Playwright Erika Dickerson-Despenza, and the company of

shadow/land

, invite you

to remember the truth of what was—the lives and land lost in 2005 were the result of several

human-made

disasters. Water may have drowned New Orleans,

but it was the willfully broken levee system, government

leadership failures, and the institutional disregard for

Black people that made those waters rise.

For hundreds of years the food, music, people, ritual, and traditions of New Orleans have made it

not only a marvel of a city, but also a testament to inventiveness and endurance. If you’ve been

there, you know it is a hard place to forget. If you are from there, you know what

shadow/land

reminds us of—this is a land lled with spirit that holds and cares for its people deeply.

Erika, whose roots in New Orleans stretch back generations, reminds us that memory is a creative

act in constructing the interiority of the places where we make our lives. When we remember our

ancestors, the people and places that gave us life, we conjure a spell that breaks the veil between

life and death and bends the limits of time and space.

Memory lets us drink with

our ancestors, dance with them, learn from them, pass on

their lessons, and heal their hurts (and our own).When Erika

writes about New Orleans, about Ruth, Magalee, Rosaline, and the 1,833+ departed, she creates

an eternal home for the Black women and femmes who built the city and continue to give it life.

Erika, our brilliant leader Candis C. Jones, this incredible company, and peerless design team

invite you to create a memory with us today. Let us remember the past, present, and future of New

Orleans and listen to what its waters know.

Welcome to Shadowland,
