In Sistas on Fire: A Newsical, the personal becomes the political when four passionately-opinionated African American women speak their minds on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Black Lives Matter, missing women and girls, racial stratification on Long Island, sexual exploitation, black-on-black crime, and male/female relationships in a soul-stirring mix of song, dance, spoken word poetry, and

prose. The interrelated dramatic monologues range from tragedy to comedy in a musical r***e that examines pressing social issues from an African American female perspective. SOF uses theatre to provoke thought, encourage social activism, and build bridges that cross race, class, gender and culture.
