God and All Her Children, a poignant and poetic new play by Anike Sonuga, will make its much-anticipated premiere at The Tank NYC on April 30th and May 3rd, 4th, and 6th.
Directed by Nyah Anderson and produced by Darius Adamson Jr. and Kyra Davis, God and All Her Children invites audiences to God's porch, where two teenage boys navigate their changing friendship.
About the Play:
God and All Her Children follows two high school-aged boys- best friends, D and Gigi, as they spend the last days of summer on the porch of their elderly neighbor, whose infinite presence makes "God" the only fitting name for her. When Gigi is offered a life-altering opportunity that might take him away for good, the boys are forced to confront the shifting ground of their friendship, and what happens when your world begins and ends with the walls of your neighborhood.
The play explores Black boyhood, the complications of spirituality and faith, and the ambivalence that comes with growth.
The Cast:
D - Jonathan Lorenzo Price
Gigi - Jacob Augustin
“God” - Jalissa Fulton
Additional Team:
