#TCTheater playwright Harrison David Rivers has written another beautiful and relevant story about humans.
Weathering was commissioned by Penumbra as a response to the growing awareness of racial disparities in maternal health. A quick google search reveals staggering statistics around the racial disparity in infant and maternal mortality in this country -
two and three times higher for Black mothers compared to White mothers.
Weathering puts a human face on those statistics and lets us experience the tragedy of one family, as well as the healing that can happen within a community.
