Queens of Sheba
Purchase tickets here

Turned away from a nightclub for being “too Black,” four women take to the stage with their own explosive true stories: the music and the misogyny, the dancing and the drinking, the women and, of course, the (white) men. Loosely based on the DSTRKT nightspot incident of 2015, Queens of Sheba tells the hilarious, moving and uplifting stories of four passionate Black women battling every misogynoir, where sexism meets racism.
