Tickets for THE CLARK DOLL
Sharing the same name as the 1940s experiments, Liz Morgan's THE CLARK DOLL explores internalized hatred, and how it "intersects between womanhood and blackness". Following three very different black women, this play focuses on buzzing topics such as identity, appropriation, and representation. These women must come to terms with their internal conflicts, resulting in a story that celebrates and uplifts the Black Woman as well as her ancestral history.
“The Clark Doll is timely and well crafted. Liz has captured where Black people have been, where they are, and where they could remain emotionally, socially, and spiritually...” – Kim Weston-Moran, Producing Artistic Director of RHYTHMCOLOR Associates
"The play was unapologetically political without being preachy or self-righteous. The entire presentation embodies the perfect marriage between concept and structure." – David Mack, Film Director & Blog Writer
