The Black Beans Project 
By Melinda Lopez and Joel Perez

SATURDAY, JANUARY 14
4:00 p.m.

A Globe-commissioned play
Mariana and Henry meet to share a secret family recipe that forces them to reveal secrets of their own. The siblings transform pandemic panic into renewal in this tender comedy about family, food, and finding the strength to move on. The Black Beans Project invites audiences to open a bottle of wine, chop some garlic, and savor the possibility of connecting with family after a long time apart.
