Chelle, a Black mid-career artist, has written a check that she's not sure her talent can cash. When the city of Baltimore takes down the Confederate monument in the park across the street from her childhood home, she has an idea. She'll apply for a grant to create a piece to replace it. Caught between the past, the present, and the future, Chelle, portrayed by Jennifer Kidwell, is catapulted into a journey that takes her back before the Middle Passage and out beyond the bounds of this planet.
“Wildly funny and thought-provoking” (CTX Life Theatre), Glitter in the Glass by multi-award-winning playwright R. Eric Thomas and directed by Ontaria Kim Wilson is about liminal spaces and a world on the cusp of exploding. Ontaria Kim Wilson returns to Theatre Exile following Robinson’s production debut in Philly GRIT 2024 to direct this powerful story.
