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 first. A young girl is pulled into intrigue when her estranged uncle, a prominent Black conservative, brings his mysteriously ill white wife home for the holidays and forces long-simmering family tensions to boil over. Winner of the 2026 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, Cold War Choir Practice is an explosion of roller disco, Reaganomics, espionage, and cults, underscored by the Seedlings of Peace Children’s Chorus. This production contains adult language and mature themes.
