Oya, a gifted young athlete, navigates family, love, and ambition in this coming-of-age story from Tarell Alvin McCraney.

Synopsis: Tarell Alvin McCraney once again creates a poetic coming-of-age story in his Brother/Sister play series. In the Red and Brown Water tells the story of Oya, a gifted young athlete living in Louisiana who is trying to find her place in the world while balancing her responsibilities, relationships, and personal desires. As Oya navigates adulthood, she faces difficult choices surrounding love, family, motherhood, and her dreams for the future, forcing her to confront both the expectations placed on her and the desires she keeps for herself. Inspired by Yoruba mythology, the play blends the realities of everyday life with elements of spirituality and folklore, creating a story that explores identity, womanhood, love, loss, and the search for purpose.

Synopsis: Fefu and seven of her friends have gathered at her home for the day to plan a charity event. As the women move throughout the house, their conversations reveal the different sides of their personalities and the private struggles they each carry. In between water fights, rabbits, laughter, and moments of tension, they share their dreams, fears, relationships, and frustrations with one another. Although they come together as friends, each woman experiences the pressures and expectations placed on women in very different ways. As the day continues, the playful atmosphere becomes increasingly complicated as the women confront issues of control, violence, identity, and repression. María Irene Fornés’ Obie-winning play, Fefu and Her Friends, follows these eight women as they navigate their relationships with each other and the limitations of the world around them. Through its intimate portrayal of female friendship, the play explores gender inequality and the ways social expectations can affect women’s freedom, choices, and sense of self.
