Feeding Beatrice

November 20 – 22, 2026

A daring collaboration that confronts haunting questions of race, power, and belonging and showcasing the Wirtz Center as a laboratory for fearless storytelling and necessary artistic voices.

By Kirsten Greenidge
Directed by Reva Stover

It starts with the sound of a spoon scraping against glass and the wet noise of lips smacking together. June and Lurie have a haunting new houseguest—and she’s ravenously hungry. They do their best to keep her fed and happy, but Beatrice always demands more. As she burrows deeper and deeper into their lives, the couple faces a horrific question: What will it cost to exorcise Beatrice forever?  Kirsten Greenidge’s spine-chilling gothic tale, about a contemporary Black couple haunted by the ghost of a young white girl, deftly explores questions of race, class, and the American Dream.

Approximate run time: 2 hours and 20 minutes with one intermission
Suggested ages: 15+
