A Punk-Couture Medicine Show for the People
Suzan-Lori Parks' nine-piece band, SLP & The Joyful Noise, is her test kitchen. In The Tune Up—Parks’ new series blending short plays, music and high-voltage performance—she throws a party in that kitchen, alongside starry guests and exceptional newcomers. This is a bring-your-drinks, make new friends, dance-in-the-aisles kind of night. With big sounds and bold ideas, Parks joyfully reminds us the importance of remembering who we are.
