About this event
Tour-de-force solo show by Tania Richard, adapted from her memoir Black Girl from a White Suburb: Finding My Light, Using My Voice. Growing up in an all-white Chicago suburb, Tania spent her days dodging microaggressions, striving to fit in, and yearning to see herself reflected. Her transformation began when cast as The Caterpillar in “Alice in Wonderland.” Blending cautionary tales, social commentary, and humor, Tania takes the leading role in a culture that often relegates Black women to supporting characters.
