Come to Raven and enjoy the world premiere of The Prodigal Daughter, a show about, made, and performed by Black artists—on a night specially dedicated to and celebrating Black audience members. If you are a Black individual and would like to be a part of this special evening, scroll to the bottom of the page to learn about TICKET OPTIONS.
A BLACK OUT is the purposeful creation of an environment in which a Black audience can experience and discuss an event in the performing arts, film, athletic, and cultural spaces where they are the majority.
A concept birthed by Slave Play playwright Jeremy O. Harris, the inaugural BLACK OUT night took place on September 18, 2019. For the first time in history, all 804 seats of Broadway’s Golden Theatre were occupied by Black audience members in communion, celebration, and recognition of Broadway’s rich, diverse, and fraught history of Black work. Based on the success of the first BLACK OUT, Slave Play hosted a second BLACK OUT on January 8, 2020, to bookend its Broadway run. Since then, other BLACK OUT events have organically taken hold.

The intention behind this performance is to provide a supportive, safe, judgment-free space for Black theatregoers to experience a show made by Black artists in a space reserved for the Black community. The audience will be comprised of a majority of Black audience members.
The intention for this performance is to create a space for as many Black audience members as possible. We are not preventing or precluding anyone from attending, but hope that non-Black audience members will choose to experience the play at another performance. We thank you in advance for supporting these artists and Raven as we facilitate an opportunity for a community to celebrate and enjoy this special event.
