About WANTED
Texas, 1893. Twin sisters Mary and Martha Clarke are on the run. As Black women who pass for white, they move through a dangerous divide between two Americas while fighting to protect their mother and their family’s legacy. The musical follows the sisters’ struggle for self-determination, dignity, and an inheritance denied to them, with the Kinfolk—a chorus of ancestors—guiding their story. The production is inspired by a long-held family story.
