“Ladysitting”

A play by Penn’s Village Member Lorene Cary

This world premiere play, by acclaimed Philadelphia writer and Penn’s Village member Lorene Cary, explores the life and last year of Lorene’s Nana – a fiercely strong and independent woman who now needs the care of others.  Ladysitting captures the ruptures, love, and forgiveness that can occur in a family through stories of five generations of their African American ancestors, and bears witness to her grandmother’s 101 vibrant years of life.  Penn’s Village has reserved a block of 20 tickets for members to see the play, and those who are interested can join us for happy hour afterward at National Mechanics, 22 S. 3rd St.!

 

Lorene Cary is author of the memoirs Ladysitting and Black Ice, three novels, and a book for young readers. She teaches at the University of Pennsylvania and has written a one-act opera of Ladysitting and a play, My General Tubman.

 

This is an in-person program at Arden Theatre, 40 N. 2nd St., which is fully accessible.
