“Culture Unmuted” follows Roxanne, a young go-go artist preparing for D.C.’s annual block party. Tensions rise between Roxanne and her new neighbors as they clash with the culture and future of their neighborhood. This play explores issues of gentrification, social justice, African Diaspora cultural traditions, and what was once Chocolate City.
