11th & Pine
By Nikki Yeboah
A riveting look into the beating heart of Seattle’s 2020 Protests
Public Staged Reading
Friday-Sunday, March 17-19
at the Erickson Theatre Off Broadway
Several years after the 2020 protests against police violence that ushered in a racial awakening across the nation, a deposed protest leader sends out a call to fellow activists. Her goal? To reconstruct the occupation she led in her city. As they relive moments both utopian and excruciating, the activists find the task of explaining what happened is not so simple. Did they succeed? Did they fail? How will they be remembered? Meanwhile, old tensions resurface and the group contends with powerful opponents who want to tell the story in their own way. Based on interviews with Seattle’s Capitol Hill Occupied Protestors, 11TH & PINE explores the impact of organized protest, asking “can we make a difference, and if so, at what cost?”

Meet the Playwright
Nikki Yeboah is an Assistant Professor of Playwriting in the School of Drama at the University of Washington. As an artist-scholar, Dr. Yeboah uses oral history performance to create alternative records of Black life using a Black feminist aesthetic. Her work includes the documentary theatre piece THE (M)OTHERS, an account of the shattering impacts of police violence on family members; OF SMALL AND BLACK THINGS, a solo performance using oral history and Ashanti folklore to create a parable about Black female migration; and AKOSUA GOES HOME, a sonic duet that plays with motherhood, sisterhood, and the limitations of memory.
