Back Door Productions presents Shirley Chisholm: Unbossed & Unbowed, written and performed by Ingrid Griffith, at West End Theatre, 263 W. 86th Street, New York. Performances take place Mondays at 7 PM on November 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 and December 7, 2026.
The immersive solo production traces the life and determination of Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress, whose 1972 campaign sought the Democratic presidential nomination. Griffith brings multiple characters to life in a story that connects Caribbean heritage, political courage and the pursuit of social justice.
The engagement includes a scheduled moderator for each performance: Kaisha Huguley, Brittani Samuel, Coreen Simpson, Lamar Richardson, Maya Phillips and Jamila Ponton Bragg, respectively. Final moderator credits and photo selections remain under review for this draft.
General admission is $30. Seniors, college students and groups of eight or more are listed at $10; junior high and high school students are admitted free.
