Echoes of the Storm situates one of the nation’s most defining recent events within the continuum of remembrance and resilience. Developed by Junebug Productions and The Apollo Theater, this theatrical commemoration marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a catastrophe that exposed the deep fractures of race, class, and policy in America while revealing the boundless strength of the Black South. Eight playwrights craft a mosaic of ten-minute plays reflecting on the storm’s enduring impact. Through intimate storytelling, dramatized memory, and documentary-style narrative, these works explore themes of loss, migration, home, and rebirth, tracing how the storm continues to shape identity and imagination two decades later. Featured playwrights include Kaaron Briscoe, Brian Egland, Kim Sykes, Jackie Alexander, Sha'Condria “Icon” Sibley, Stephanie McKee-Anderson, Lori Parquet, and Nick Slie. Echoes of the Storm has been presented at The Apollo Theater and the National Black Arts Festival, culminating with its New Orleans presentation. Presented at the Contemporary Arts Center in partnership with Junebug Productions and The Apollo Theater. Also, Saturday night following the performance check out and hang for sets with DJ Soul in the Atrium.
