Joe’s Movement Emporium is thrilled to bring back Ally Theater Company’s 2019 hit production Welcome to Sis's for one weekend and four performances only, February 28-March 1!!  Playwright Doug Robinson has expanded on the story begun last year and the bar is bigger and better than ever.

Grab a friend and come on out for a Sis's Sour and lively evening at the joint!

Welcome to Sis's tells a story of Friday night in North Brentwood where anybody who’s anybody knows the spot to be is Sis’s Tavern. Sis, Margaret, Willie, and Sterling are all on hand to prep for a busy night, but when James doesn’t show on time, tensions begin to rise. Set in the 1940s, Welcome to Sis’s shines a light on one community’s ability to survive and thrive amidst the turbulent backdrop of racist housing codes and local dividing lines that played out across the country’s neighborhoods and still affects us today.
