Cullud Wattah | World Premiere Play | Begins Nov 2

It’s been 936 days... and counting... since Flint has had clean water.

CULLUD WATTAH comes from 2021 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize winner Erika Dickerson-Despenza and Lilly Award winner Candis C. Jones, the same playwright and director duo behind the thrilling digital production of SHADOW/LAND.

This new Afro-surrealist play is about three generations of Black women living through the current water crisis in Flint, Michigan. As lead seeps into their home and their bodies, corrosive memories and secrets rise among them. Will this family ever be able to filter out the truth?

CULLUD WATTAH blends form and bends time, diving deep into the poisonous choices of the outside world and how we make the best choices for our families’ future when there are no real, present options.
