Cruise Control: Black Joy in Turbulent Waters

Welcome aboard the MS Sarah Kinson, where history floats, humor sails, and the clapbacks are stronger than the drinks. Cruise Control: Black Joy in Turbulent Waters is not your grandma’s historical drama—unless your grandma likes her history with a side of shade and a splash of rum punch.
Set on a cruise ship that time-travels and reality-bends, this play turns the audience into passengers on an incredible voyage. Your crew? A cast of griots, storytellers, tricksters, singers, dancers, and a cruise director and staff who’ll have you letting loose like a Caribbean uncle at karaoke night while learning how black folks have always found a way to laugh, even as the world tried to sink them.
Come celebrate the brilliance, resilience, and sheer audacity of finding joy in the face of adversity—because sometimes, you really do have to laugh to keep from crying. Remember, Black Laughs Matter: All Aboard!
