Tony winner Anika Noni Rose (most recently on Broadway in The Balusters) will star in a benefit reading of Rachel Bland’s Quasara November 1 at 7 PM at Royal Family Productions on West 46th St.
Directed by Lorna Ventura, the one-act, one-woman play is set in a sci-fi/fantasy universe and revolves around washed-up superhero Quasara, who has all the powers of a black hole inside her.
Royal Family Productions has partnered with Ann Hairston for the inaugural William and Enid Hairston Artist Fellowship, honoring the legacy of her father, William R. Hairston Jr., a trailblazing Black actor, playwright, and cultural leader. This fellowship champions Black female playwrights and stories of Black joy, imagination, and possibility. The inaugural Playwriting Fellow is Bland.
Tickets are $100 for general admission, $250 for reserved seating, and $500 for VIP Meet and Greet. All tickets are tax-deductible.
