This gripping play plunges you into the intimate world of Jesse, a Black playwright, and Neil, his white boyfriend and a passionate Black Lives Matter activist. Their deep love is challenged as political realities, race, and class collide, forcing them to confront questions of activism, apathy, and the courage it takes to love out loud. Described as romantic and devastating, "THIS BITTER EARTH" is a must-see theatre production that asks: What is the real cost of standing on the sidelines? Don't miss this thought-provoking exploration of contemporary relationships and social justice.Studio On The Block's production of THIS BITTER EARTH directly supports Trey Smith-Mills and his personal artistic project. As an artist, he came to us with the play and asked us to help assemble a team and to fully produce the show while keeping his work focused on being an actor in the production. As a queer and bipoc play, it was important to him that we produce this show the weekend leading up to the Northwest Arkansas Pride Parade. Studio On The Block works to remove the barriers that often prevent creative work from happening by helping artists access space, funding, production support, and collaborative networks.This production is in collaboration with --Actors: Warren McCombs & Trey Smith-MillsDirector: Richard WidthStage Manager: Veronica VasquezVenue: Sicarú Coffee RoastersTickets can be officially purchased at the door or by visiting our site ()Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @studioontheblock https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/08c08bd0-6ab4-11f1-884b-0fa428c2316e-rimg-w609-h740-dc345d60-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/fayetteville/this-bitter-earth/100001991334151051 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, performances, sports, workshops, entertainment, lgbt-pride, black-lives-matter, parades - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: under_18_with_guardian - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: Sicarú Coffee - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Fayetteville - **state**: AR - **country**: United States - **location**: Sicarú Coffee - **lat**: 36.0851337 - **long**: -94.1682799 - **full address**: Sicarú Coffee, 716 West Sycamore Street, Fayetteville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: THIS BITTER EARTH - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/c71fbe74cecba99f3275a0aefe9a79f5a8b7d01f620a5f2eb1536ec3162961ee-rimg-w1200-h1553-dc061016-gmir.jpg?v=1780903088 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is THIS BITTER EARTH being held? - **A:** THIS BITTER EARTH takes place on Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Sicaru Coffee, 716 West Sycamore Street, Fayetteville, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing THIS BITTER EARTH? - **A:** THIS BITTER EARTH is organized by Studio On The Block. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
