THE NEW YORK PREMIERE OF
THE CLARK DOLL
written by LIZ MORGAN
directed by TYLER THOMAS
Three black women find themselves confined to a space; the kind that doesn't allow visitors. It isn't the first time but hopefully, it will be the last. Natasha wants to escape for good; Judi wants to sleep; and Sophia just doesn't want to end up left alone. Meanwhile, this trio of "sistas" will do what they can to survive their circumstances and each other.
