Angela's Mixtape

Signature Theatre is presenting Angela's Mixtape, written by Eisa Davis and directed by Charlotte Brathwaite, at The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre in New York, NY. The production is a co-presentation with New Georges and The Movement Theatre Company. What's it like to grow up in the shadow of a shero? Signature resident artist Eisa Davis pens a love letter to her radical upbringing in a family of proud activists, including her mother and her legendary aunt, Angela Y. Davis. Set on the dividing line between Oakland and Berkeley, California and moving to the rhythm of her childhood's hip-hop, soul, pop and classical soundtrack, this memory- and time-shifting piece is a revealing portrait of a young artist in search of her own beat.
