JUMP TO: Dates, Run Time, Playbill, & More

At their 10-year college reunion, Aisha and Holly meet by chance. Aisha is a Black, successful playwright; Holly is a white, struggling stand-up comedian. Aisha’s most successful play bears a striking resemblance to a tragic event in Holly’s life. Is it a coincidence or is it theft? They both have a story they’ve been telling themselves about what happened years ago and they’re both willing to fight for their truth in the present.

“Every once in a (great) while, a new work in Philadelphia premieres with such power and promise that it demands to be seen by a much wider audience. That play is Mrs. Harrison... That playwright is R. Eric Thomas.” – Philadelphia Inquirer “a tense and thrilling matchup of wit and words between two old college ‘friends.’” - City Pulse
