The Strand Theater Company is proud to continue its 14th consecutive season as Baltimore’s women-centric company with a regional premiere of Black Super Hero Magic Mama by Inda Craig-Galvan. Directed by Aladiran C. Wetzel. Assistant Directed by Sadia Alaio.

Sabrina Jackson cannot cope with the death of her son by a white cop. Rather than herald the Black Lives Matter movement, Sabrina retreats inward, living out a comic book superhero fantasy, played out on stage. The greatest superpower is a mother’s love. In a comic book world from the mind of a 14-year-old boy, Sabrina becomes superhero Maasai Angel to take on her arch villains. Enter Lady Vulture, Human Hyena and more. Compared to the pain of her real world, this battle is child’s play.

“Craig-Galvan's extraordinary play is a candid, fantastical look into the mind of a mother of a Black son, and the ways we, as humans, cope with love and loss in a hostile landscape”, says the Strand Associate Artistic Director, Erin Riley. “This unique, often funny, and positively heart wrenching production is reflective of the Strand mission to produce art that is both challenging and provocative - adding our support to the conversation surrounding racially fueled gun violence in America.”
