The RENT PARTY PROJECT - 4/15/17
The Hansberry Project's Artistic Director Valerie Curtis-Newton has written a play. Julia is throwing a party to raise money to free her husband, Hamp - a community activist from jail. As she prepares for the party, her family - including the ghost of the matriarch Bessie - tries to come together to support the cause, but old patterns and grudges get in the way. Later at the party, family and friends - with even more diverse wants, needs, desires, opinions and secrets - gather and collide.
