Black Super Hero Magic Mama

The American Repertory Theater, Boston Public Library and Boston Comics in Color Festival present Inda Craig-Galván’s "Black Super Hero Magic Mama" on Friday, Apr. 22. In all the books that Sabrina Jackson reads to her son Tramarion, tragedy’s just an origin story, something to propel the heroes into wondrous new worlds. When tragedy strikes in her own life, Sabrina launches herself into a fantastical, technicolor universe where she gets to be the hero. A high-flying adventure that refuses to be held down by the gravity at its core, "Black Super Hero Magic Mama" is a powerful refutation of the disproportionate expectations placed on Black mothers and their sons. Purchase tickets plus review COVID protocols regarding masking and vaccination online.

This show is recommended for ages 14 and up and contains depictions of death, grief, violence, depression, police brutality and strong language.
