I Am Queen: Charlotte 2024 Teaser
The community acclaimed stage show I Am Queen: Charlotte is back on stage on October 1st, 2022!
I Am Queen:Charlotte is a stage show created by two Black women to share stories about Black women. The Epoch Tribe duo has been telling the stories of marginalized communities for nearly 15 years, but it’s the stories of Black people that are the cornerstone of their work. I Am Queen is an opportunity to widen the scope of what it’s like to live, love and evolve as Black women through their own voices against the backdrop of stunning visuals and sounds, live and onstage.
It’s an experience. It’s for us, by us, but all are welcome to bask in the warmth.
