'(pray)': A Soul-Nourishing Blend of Song and Dance

"(pray)" is a transcendent and paradoxical work by nicHi douglas that explores the intersection of faith and Black womanhood. Presented at the Greenwich House Theater, the production combines music, movement, poetry, rituals, and critical theory to create a sacred offering. The performance immerses the audience in a shared experience of Blackness, making faith more accessible through coy translations and communal engagement. While the script lacks some polish and context, "(pray)" celebrates the sanctity of Black women and offers a house of song and praise.
