Buchwald Stage
In FLEX, Candrice Jones delivers a powerful exploration of ambition, identity, and sisterhood through the lens of a women’s basketball team. Set in the competitive world of high school sports, the play dives into the lives of these young athletes as they navigate the pressures of success, personal identity, and the divides that exist between their dreams and their realities. As the team battles for victory, they also confront the deeper, often invisible divides of race, class, and gender that shape their lives both on and off the basketball court. At its heart, FLEX is a celebration of resilience, self-discovery, and the power of community as these women come together to rise above the divides that seek to keep them down.
