2020 APP Alum Andrea Ambam's play R(estoration) I(n) P(rogress) running at Provincetown Playhouse

2020 APP Alum Andrea Ambam's play R(estoration) I(n) P(rogress) will run at Provincetown Playhouse in NYC from February 24-March 5th, 2023. Andrea's play was written during her time in the NYU Arts Politics Masters Program in the Methods and Criticism course with Professor Kathy Engel and former Professor Grace Aneiza Ali. 

"R.I.P. follows the healing journey of an estranged mother and son after a police-involved death forces them back together. In response to the racial violence of the 1890s-1930s (and beyond), Black women playwrights pioneered a genre of theatre known as “anti-lynching plays.” Cultural critic and scholar, Koritha Mitchell, states that these plays created space for Black people to “rehearse belonging” in the face of racial terrorism. In R.I.P., we are activating Provincetown Playhouse to rehearse healing. To rehearse loving. To rehearse family. And to rehearse questioning and confronting the systems that continue to cause us harm."
