GLITTER IN THE GLASS

By R. ERIC THOMAS
Directed by ELIZABETH CARTER

Monday, August 4 & Tuesday, August 5 at 7 PM

The director of Wolf Play (2023), Elizabeth Carter, is back to tell the story of Chelle, a Black artist whose time is running out to deliver on a grant – a piece of art set to replace a Confederate monument in Baltimore. As her brother plans a Juneteenth festival in the park where the monument once was, Chelle catapults on a journey between the past, present and future.

Far from your average staged reading, we give our actors just enough blocking, light and sound design to get started and then we let adrenaline do the rest! Yes, there will be scripts in hands, but there will also be bold action and riveting drama. Subscribe to the CSRS for a perfect pairing to our mainstage season.

❋ Run-time: TBA

CONTENT ADVISORIES

GLITTER IN THE GLASS – Content Advisories

Shotgun Players is equally committed to presenting challenging work and taking care of our patrons.

Content advisories are a tool to help our patrons choose how they want to engage with each play. While we have tried to cover the most common sensitivities, the list below is not exhaustive. Some listed advisories refer to lines only briefly mentioned in the plays, whereas others are major themes of the work. These advisories will be updated regularly as plays are developed in rehearsal and production.

  • References to slavery, the Middle Passage, and Black trauma 
  • Use of the n-word by Black characters
  • Confederate iconography onstage via photograph and stage dressing
