A YELLOW CIRCUS

November 13 | Mack, Tracy, Amari, and Stephanie, high school teammates, find themselves abandoned at the beach on their way to a basketball tournament. As the sun scorches their backs, their adolescent repressions crack under the weight of exposure—both physical and emotional—challenging societal norms and expectations. By sunset, they erupt into a fervor that propels them into the fierce realm of womanhood, reclaiming their narratives in an unapologetic coming-of-age tale. 

Writer Ashli Rene Funches in attendance.
