Love, Queens Who Suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, billed as a "choreopoem" combining elements of dance, poetry and theater, monologues the trials of seven black women battling it out in what seem like hopeless situations. Co-created by Jamila Captiman and Heather Thomas and directed by Donja Love, Love, Queens touches on abusive relationships, extreme poverty and mental illness, all through the movements and words of women wearing red, black, pink, green, orange, purple and gold to express their myriad struggles.

Wed., Dec. 1, 7 p.m., Bonnell Auditorium, Community College of Philadelphia, 1700 Spring Garden St.; Fri., Dec. 3, 7 p.m., New Freedom Theater, 1346 N. Broad St.; $10-$15, lovequeens.eventbrite.com.
