EVENT  //  Stageplay
Sugar In Our Wounds
​
If you have not heard about the iconic hit play "Sugar In Our Wounds," you are missing a treat. Under the direction of Kenneth Gaddie, the play's opening night was on January 13 and has sold out more than several times. The play was created by Afro-Queer award-winning playwright, poet, and Philadelphian filmmaker Donja R. Love.
