Thiz Girlz Lyfe

“Thiz Girlz Lyfe” tells the story of Nasheema Morgan, an exotic dancer in present-day Cleveland, Ohio. Nasheema appears to have everything she needs: a house, a handsome man, and a loving daughter. But beneath that facade, things are spiraling out of control. Nasheema’s husband expresses his anger with violence. The party scene that she turns to puts her daughter at greater risk. Nasheema can only deal with so much before she must find a way out. Co-presented by Playwrights Local, Cleveland’s only theater devoted to locally written works, and Powerful Long Ladder Ensemble, a new company headed by Terrence Spivey.
