Coco Queens | TheatreWorks@The Square

Playhouse on the Square presents this production, one of the NewWorks@TheWorks Playwriting Competition winners.

Coco Queens is a compelling play that explores the unbreakable bond among four women as they confront the deep and often painful challenges of love, forgiveness, and Black womanhood during the 1970s.

I owe my radio career to the Ford Motor Company. My daddy had a Ford dealership in our hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and he thought it would be cute if his 7-year old daughter did his radio commercials. The pay wasn't great, just a pack of Wrigley's gum, but I was hooked on radio from then on.
