Tanya Nixon-Silberg and Ash Winkfield received a New Projects Grant for “Like One of the Family: A Puppetry Production“

This collaborative puppetry project brings to life Mildred Johnson, the sharp-witted Black domestic worker from Alice Childress’ “Like One of the Family,” through a series of devised vignettes exploring the relationships and resilience of Black women. Developed through gatherings with Black women in Greater Boston, the process centers community storytelling, collective authorship, and embodied puppetry performance techniques.
