Enjoy a night of innovative theater, with two tickets to the National Black Theater's workshop production of "The Grioraphet Speaks on Sundays" written by playwright (and T&W Program Manager!) Calley N. Anderson.  The winner can attend one of the productions taking place May 6-9. 2027.

In The Grioraphet Speaks on Sundays, apocalypse & human connection, bunkers & saviors, and past & present all collide as the Grioraphet asks: what becomes of us in an unmade world?

A century has passed since the United States’ tech-fueled Icarian collapse. Many new things emerged in its wake, from cults and guerrilla groups to quasi-utopias and mutual aid societies. One presence has outlasted them all: the Grioraphet — a lineage of orators with an enduring purpose of looking back in order to move forward. But, on this Sunday, as the Grioraphet speaks to their gathering of followers, naysayers, and the generally curious, the world as they know it has shifted again, and the legacy of care they’ve built their life on may no longer exist.

This show is commissioned and developed through National Black Theater’s I Am SOUL Playwright residency program.
