The Trial of One Short-Sighted Black Woman vs Mammy Louise and Safreeta Mae is a dark comedy exploring the impact of harmful stereotypes on Black women. Written by Karani Marcia Leslie and directed by David Hemphill, the play features Jessica Ortiz Sanroman as Victoria Dryer, who challenges societal portrayals through a courtroom drama. The characters Mammy Louise and Safreeta Mae represent the “mammy” and "jezebel" stereotypes, respectively, as they take the stand to reveal their stories. The production scrutinizes the origins and consequences of these enduring stereotypes, inviting the audience to reflect on their implications.
