'Tasha
Presented by 3Girls Theatre
Written by Cat Brooks
‘Tasha is a one woman show exploring the in-custody murder of Natasha McKenna at the hands of law enforcement in Farifax, Virginia in 2015. The play, written by artist and activist Cat Brooks, directed by Oakland's Poet Laureate Dr. Ayodele Nzinga, and performed by acclaimed actor Jeunée Simon, explores her life and murder from the point of view of several characters, including Natasha herself. "Natasha started talking so loudly I had to get up and write what she was saying." Brooks said of the script's genesis in 2015.
Trigger warning: This show contains graphic images and language depicting the murder of a young Black woman at the hands of police. A non-shooting, replica firearm will be used onstage and will be pointed at the audience. It is a non-working, prop gun. It will be accompanied by the sounds of gunshots and screaming. Please take care of yourself during the show. Tissues are available in the lobby. Resources related to the themes explored in this play can be found in the program, and are available on 3GT’s website and by scanning the flier you received when you entered the theatre.
3GT practices radical hospitality, while you can reserve seats at the various price levels shown here, no one will be turned away for lack of funds and we will admit you free at the door, capacity permitting.
