New year, brand-new play.

Experience the world premiere of Vincent Terrell Durham’s “Running After Shadows”!

Running After Shadows

Morgan Collins is on a culinary journey. But today, as he unboxes his new garlic press live on Instagram, he also opens something unexpected. This box brings him face to face with childhood memories and the pain left by his absentee father. Poignant and funny, this story of human connection was commissioned by City Lights in a series of solo plays by writers in the BIPOC community. Performances are Jan. 22-Feb. 8. (Pictured: Director Aldo Billingslea, City Lights executive artistic director Lisa Mallette, and playwright Vincent Terrell Durham.)
