Standing on Business

Now booking for the 2027 season.

Kennedy Center performance excerpt

Excerpt from 'Standing on Business' performed by Renita at the Kennedy Center in Faces of Freedom: A Black Woman's Love Story. (Cast: Renita Martin, Remica L. Bingham-Risher, Lisa Cain, Traci Cook, and Asha Lindsey.)

An immersive visual album and live theatrical experience blending piano, spoken word, original music, cinematic projection, and live performance.

Created, composed, produced, and performed by Renita Martin.

The work is designed as a live theatrical encounter, not simply a screening or concert. Music, image, text, and performance are treated as one connected theatrical language.

The project creates space for story, memory, craft, resilience, and joy.
