Originally scheduled for the 2019-2020 season a show that WBTT had previously offered as a staged reading is Flyin West by Pearl Cleage. In the 1890s, the lives of a small group of African-American women change after they leave the oppressive South and settle in the all-black town of Nicodemus, Kansas. Their hopes, dreams and determination to survive in a harsh region are tested as they build new lives for themselves and their families. With flashes of humor amid serious themes, Flyin West sheds new light on a chapter of American history thats seldom told, as it explores questions and conflicts that still resonate today. Chuck Smith, who serves as resident director at WBTT and at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, will return to Sarasota to direct this show.
