Lines in the Dust

by Nikkole Salter

Two mothers. Two neighborhoods. Two schools. Two futures.

When Denitra loses the charter school lottery for her daughter, she must find another way to escape from their underperforming neighborhood school. The answer seems like a risk well worth taking, but may end up requiring a bigger sacrifice than she ever could have imagined.

Directed by Desean K. Terry (The Morning Show)

Featuring: Dawn-Lyen Gardner (Queen Sugar), Candice Renée (Bruh), and Tony Pasqualini (Grace and Frankie). Stage Directions read by Elijah Reed.

Lines in the Dust is produced in collaboration with Collaborative Artists Bloc.

Immediately following the play, join us for food, music, drinks and more, as we highlight two amazing local organizations— STEM to the Future and Educating Students Together. With selections from the following Black-owned businesses: Malik Books, NikNax Stationery, DeVonna Payne, Brown Toy Box, with music curated by DJ Q-Nice, and event photos by Joan Fuller Photography.
