What to Send Up When It Goes Down is a play, a ritual, and a home-going celebration that bears witness to the physical and spiritual deaths of Black people as a result of racist violence. Setting out to disrupt the pervasiveness of anti-Blackness and acknowledge the resilience of Black people throughout history, Aleshea Harris’s acclaimed, groundbreaking play blurs the boundaries between actors and audiences, offering a space for catharsis, discussion, reflection, and healing. The play was created for a Black audience, but all are welcome. The intention of the play is to create a space for as many Black-identifying audience members as possible. This production is part of the Playwrights Horizons’ Redux Series, which expands audience reach for vital new plays that premiered to limited runs elsewhere. Redux productions are programmed in addition to our regular season offerings. The Redux Series is not included in any of our season packages.
