Following a sold-out run in Cleveland Public Theatre's popular play development program Test Flight, "Showin' Up Black" is back with a full production! On the eve of their daughter's cotillion, the Hopegoodes, an affluent Cleveland African American family, see their plans for the perfect debutante ball collide with a Black Lives Matter protest. As the protest gets nearer, secrets and competing desires get shaken loose, tearing at the fabric of the family, challenging what, exactly, it is to be Black.
