swc: shopping while colored by Toma Lynn Smith
Four black women convene on a Friday night to chill at Thelma’s place in Pilsen, a Chicago neighborhood. Their planned fun night turns serious after she shares a video of a racist rant at a shopping mall in the south. Disagreements happen, reflection occurs, and friendship strengthens in this 10-minute play.
