INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Repertory Theatre continues its 2020-2021 virtual season with the second show in this season’s INclusion Series, which celebrates diverse storytelling, Mrs. Harrison. Written by R. Eric Thomas and directed by Mikael Burke, the play raises the question, who has the right to tell whose story? The first show this season filmed in the IRT Upperstage Theatre, this simmering confrontation and winding look at truth and storytelling will stream until May 30.
In Mrs. Harrison, two women meet at their ten-year college reunion. Aisha is a successful Black playwright, and Holly is a struggling White comedian and storyteller. As they dredge up shared memories and past confidences, audiences begin to wonder — which one is misremembering? Or lying? Or are they both?
Virtual tickets for Mrs. Harrison are now available for $30 and streaming begins May 6. To learn more about the entire season and purchase virtual tickets, please visit irtlive.com.
