Spiritus

In her one-woman tour de force Spiritus, Pulitzer Prize finalist and Susan Smith
Blackburn Prize winner Dael Orlandersmith brings to the Provincetown Theater a
powerful work (commissioned by Merrimack Repertory Theatre in Lowell, MA)
about how we live and pass, about time and direction – that celebrates and
appreciates life and death, while revealing just how much we take for granted.

Known for her searing, poetic voice in plays like Yellowman, Forever, and Until the
Flood, Orlandersmith continues to explore the human spirit with fierce honesty
and lyrical beauty. Spiritus debuted at the Contemporary American Theater
Festival in 2023, and has played at Off-Broadway’s Rattlestick Theatre and
Merrimack Rep in 2024. An Obie Award-winning playwright, performer, and
Guggenheim Fellow, Orlandersmith’s work has captivated audiences across the
U.S. and abroad.
