Black Cypress Bayou

directed by Ericka Ratcliff
On a sweltering Texas night in the middle of a pandemic, Vernita Manifold calls her daughters home to the bayou—and to a secret that's about to explode. The richest man in East Texas has turned up dead on their property, and the Manifold women know better than to call the police. As LadyBird and RaeMeka clash over what to do, the mysterious Taysha arrives, and buried truths begin to rise from the swamp.
What starts as wickedly funny family chaos transforms into a powerful reckoning with history itself. Step into this razor-sharp Chicago premiere where loyalty is tested, souls refuse to stay silent, and reparations come knocking from beyond the grave.
