Lumen Repertory Theatre presents Cadillac Crew
San Marco Church | San Marco
Jacksonville’s regional theatre company Lumen Repertory continues its run of playwright Tori Sampson’s critically acclaimed Cadillac Crew. The play, which premiered at Yale Repertory in 2019, follows four 1960s-era civil rights activists – Rachel, Abby, Dee and Sarah – navigating the limits of their place in society and within the protest movement itself. JaxPlays says the show as “a compelling call to reclaim forgotten voices” of Black women who shaped the Civil Rights Movement. Shows start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets and more info.
Saturday
