And She Was Loved
by Black Rose Theatre

Sep. 03 - Sep. 12
Thursdays-Saturdays

Black Rose Theatre presents a world premiere one-act play by Zell Miller III, And She Was Loved: A Ritual of Healing. A Celebration of Love. A Story of What Remains. 

Inspired by the loss of Miller’s mother, Vernell Miller, and his longtime mentor, theater icon Laurie Carlos, And She Was Loved is a deeply personal journey through grief, and memory that ultimately transforms into a testament of resilience, healing, and the enduring power of love.

Blending the mythology of Peter Pan with hip-hop theater, jazz aesthetics, movement, and gesture language, this powerful new work explores the bitter, the sweet, the love that remains after loss—and the hope that never leaves us.

Featuring national & international award-winning tap dancer Siobhan Alexis and introducing Marley Miller, granddaughter of Vernell Miller, and featuring Zell Miller III, Austin’s first poet laureate.
