    About This Event

    Sistas Who Kill is an individual theater artist whose stage work—rooted in live performance traditions and character-driven storytelling—has appeared at the Gramercy Theatre and elsewhere in New York City. In Sistas Who Kill: Back From The Dead they move between comic and darker registers to examine survival and return, favoring direct address, clear narrative beats, and tension carried by language and timing rather than spectacle.

    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.
