SistahFriend by Phaedra Tillery-Boughton | This dramatic comedy follows three Black women in their 40s as they navigate life, love, faith, and identity with honesty, humor, and heart.
SistahFriend is being developed in Lorraine Hansberry Theatre’s New Black Voices Mentorship Program. The program remains central to the company’s mission of uplifting Black female and femme-identifying playwrights, by offering opportunities to develop new works or to showcase them live to new audiences. Currently, the New Black Voices Advisory Board includes Lydia Diamond, Nambi E. Kelley, Dominique Morisseau, and Lisa B. Thompson. The advisory board assists with the selection process of new mentees and the personalized structure for mentorships while serving as mentors within the program.
