Renaissance in the Belly of a Killer Whale at The Wilma Theater

As part of our yearlong series of memory-themed events, we invite Jefferson students to the Wilma production of Renaissance in the Belly of a Killer Whale, a fusion of theater, dance, song and spoken word poetry. Narrating a journey through the streets and landmarks of Harlem, Bridget, Shayla and Toni share stories of how gentrification is changing the culture of their neighborhood.

Renaissance premiered at the American Negro Theatre at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in 2011. Renaissance has received dozens of presentations across the Northeast, most recently a successful limited engagement at Theater Horizon.

Registration is required to receive a ticket. In the event that you can no longer attend the performance, please inform the Office of Student Life and Engagement-Humanities at least 24 hours in advance so that your space may be made available to another student. Any cancellations less than 24 hours in advance or no-shows will result in a $25 hold attached to your student account.
