A Genre-Defying World Premiere
It’s twilight in Ronald Reagan’s America and the specter of nuclear war hangs over the country – but rent is still due on the 1st. When a prominent Black conservative brings his mysteriously ill wife home for the holidays, the unplanned reunion sets long simmering tensions within the family to boil – and throws each member into a bizarre maze of Reaganomics, Cold War espionage, capitalist cult predation, and… choir practice. Featuring original music and set in the mesmerizing ambiance of a retro roller-skating rink, Cold War Choir Practice celebrates the lengths we go to for those we love.
Buzz
“Highly entertaining.. a brainy new comedy by Ro Reddick that’s infused with choral music and spiked with espionage.”
“We are excited to introduce the exceptional voice of Ro Reddick to Trinity Rep’s audiences. Her plays are wildly intelligent, wickedly funny, and inherently socio-political. Nominated for The Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, her playwriting presents incredible roles for actors to fill and very human stories for audiences to enjoy.”
