  3. The Magnolia Ballet


Ezekiel is a Black teenager with a secret that threatens to destroy his already broken home. Hes haunted by the ghosts of racism, homophobia, and toxic masculinitythe same ghosts that have plagued men in Georgia for generations, including his emotionally distant father. But when he discovers a trove of forbidden love letters among his late grandfathers belongings, Ezekiel begins to believe that the only way to fight these multi-generational ghosts is to burn everything to the ground. The Magnolia Ballet is a Southern Gothic fable that melds high drama, dance, poetry, and spectacle to explore masculinity, racism, and the love between a queer kid and his father.
