In the Bay State Banner: ‘What to Send Up When It Goes Down’ offers safe space for black Americans

Playwright Aleshea Harris has not just written a performance in her production, “What to Send Up When It Goes Down.” She has created a space, a community ritual and the opportunity for black audience members to breathe. Not just short, shallow, safe breaths, but gulping, life-giving, cathartic gasps. Performed by The Movement Theatre Company, an all-black ensemble, this safe space comes to Dudley Square’s Hibernian Hall Nov. 14 to 16 and to The Ex black box at the Loeb Drama Center in Cambridge Nov. 20 to 24.
