    About This Event

    Sistas Who Kill, an individual theater artist known for character-driven storytelling and direct address, returns to the Gramercy Theatre with Back From The Dead. The piece moves between comic and darker registers to examine survival and return, favoring language and timing over spectacle so that narrative beats and live-performance technique carry the tension.

    About Sistas Who Kill: Back From The Dead(play)

    “Sistas Who Kill: Back From The Dead” is a stage work now running at Gramercy Theatre in Manhattan, performed by Sistas Who Kill. The piece revisits stories of women pushed to the margins and refuses to let them stay there, using theatrical narration, character work, and ensemble timing to frame survival as a public record, not a private anecdote. No specific NYC premiere history has been confirmed in available listings, but its placement in a mainstream New York venue underscores how local stages keep making room for counter-archives. One clear takeaway is its insistence on testimony over spectacle.
