Cold War Choir Practice
Description
Dear Santa, for Christmas this year I want a Pound Puppy, a Speak + Spell, and a nuclear radiation detector.
It's twilight in Ronald Reagan's America and the specter of nuclear war hangs over the country – but rent is still due on the 1st. In Cold War Choir Practice a young girl is embroiled in intrigue when her estranged uncle, a prominent Black conservative, brings his mysteriously ill wife home for the holidays. This darkly comedic play with music is a fugue of Reaganomics, espionage, roller disco, cults... and choir practice.
A New York Times Critic's Pick during its 2025 Summerworks run co-produced by Clubbed Thumb and Page 73, Ro Reddick's breakthrough play is infused with choral music and spiked with espionage.
Winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize 2026, this edition was published to coincide with the New York run at MCC, co-produced by Page 73 and Clubbed Thumb.
