Molière in the Park Presents PEN/MAN/SHIP

Molière in the Park presents Christina Anderson’s pen/man/ship, directed by artistic director Lucie Tiberghien. This play follows Ruby, a young Black woman fleeing the American South in 1896, boards a ship bound for Liberia, and finds herself at odds with her companions. Unwilling to sit passively below deck, she befriends the crew, becoming entangled in a mutinous uprising that threatens them all. pen/man/ship is performed live and, according to a spokesperson, “tells a story about truth-seeking at all cost and the dangerous limits of self-righteousness.”

The returning cast features Lucille Lortel, Crystal Lucas-Perry, Kevin Mambo, Jared McNeill, and Postell Pringle. Molière in the Park is offering closed captions in French as well, for those who are interested.
