National Black Theatre's 2022-23 Season Features Co-Productions With New Group, Rattlestick, Ars Nova

Playbill: The National Black Theatre's 55th season, titled NBT Beyond Walls: Love, A Ritual of Repair, will launch November 9-13 at the Chelsea Factory with Resident Playwright Tylie Shider’s Gospel Woman. Directed by Adrienne D. Williams, the play concerns sisters Ruth and Orpah Fowler, who are part of a ministry family in early 1970s Fairfield, New Jersey. The sisters must find a way to end a feud, stemming from a demo that helped launch Orpah’s R&B career, if they are to help their father keep the church from foreclosure.
