IF THE CREEK DON'T RISE by Tyree Marshall; directed by Melissa Coleman-Reed
Dramaturgy by Katherine Vondy and stage management by Athena Saxon
Featuring: Geri-Nikole Love, Sharlee Taylor, Glenn Thomas Cruz
Synopsis: Set in a dystopian future South where women are confined to homemaking and men dominate as God-fearing leaders, IF THE CREEK DON’T RISE follows Lindsey and Susie as their quiet poker night becomes a survival mission during a sudden alien apocalypse. Alone in a collapsed world, the women are forced to unlearn obedience, rebuild from the ruins—and confront new dangers when a mysterious man named "Dick" emerges. What secrets lie beneath the surface? And who gets to decide what humanity becomes in a world reborn?
This haunting, genre-bending tale blends Afrofuturism, sci-fi, and dark comedy to examine gender, power, and the liberation of identity in the face of apocalypse.
