Written and performed by Zell Miller III, Chronicles of an Indigenous Offspring is a therapeutic exhale that documents growing up black in Austin. A love letter to cultural landmarks that have been erased from the city's consciousness, the play also exposes the city's dark past.

Famed photographer Ivan Millers's black-and-white images create a visual environment, and Miller's longtime musical collaborators Thomas "Hitman" Wheeler on drums and SirCharles on bass create a funky sonic landscape. Together with Miller's masterful storytelling, they create a three-dimensional theatrical experience.

Inspired by James Baldwin's Notes of a Native Son and Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me, Zell Miller uses hip-hop culture, jazz aesthetics movement, and slam poetry spoken word to weave an authentic tapestry offering a picture of what it means to be a person of color in this southern city.
