DOT by Colman Domingo
Colman Domingo's play DOT premiered regionally at People's Light Theatre Company in Malvern, PA, in 2019. It makes its way across the bridge to Camden under the direction of Ms. Zuhairah McGill, a Philadelphia-based equity actor and director along with an incredible cast. Ms. McGill has an intimate relationship with the play, as she starred as Shelly, Dot's eldest daughter, in the regional premiere directed by the playwright, Colman Domingo. Join us November 7 through November 23 as we deck the halls for Christmas. The holidays are always a wild family affair at the Shealy household. But this year, Dotty and her three grown children - Shelly, an overwhelmed attorney, Donnie, a gay music critic with marital problems, and Averie, an aspiring actress hoping to appear on Celebrity Mud Fight - clash over how best to care for their proud, lovable matriarch. As Dotty struggles to hold on to her memory, her children must fight to balance caring for her with caring for themselves. This twisted and hilarious play grapples unflinchingly with aging parents, midlife crises, and the heart of a West Philly neighborhood.
