CONTRADICTION OF THE SOUTHERN SOUL Cancelled at Human Race Theatre Company

Due to unforeseen circumstances, The Human Race Theatre Company will no longer be presenting Contradiction of The Southern Soul, originally scheduled for March 2026.  Contradiction was a special presentation and not a part of the subscription series.

We were thrilled to share this heartfelt, music-filled memory play from Broadway and cabaret star Sally Mayes. Though we won’t be bringing this one-woman show to the Loft Theatre stage, we look forward to presenting more stories that move, inspire, and entertain in the rest of our 40th Anniversary Season.

Ticket Holders:
If you purchased tickets, please contact the Dayton Live Box Office at 937-228-3630 to donate the cost of your ticket, exchange for another show this season, or receive a refund.
