Written by Gloria Majule and directed by Mikael Burke, this Chicago Premiere is a sharp satire following an unlikely foursome ascending Mount Kilimanjaro. The dramedy follows a tour guide, a Tanzanian-American tourist, and two missionaries as they confront questions of identity, access, and who deserves a place on the mountain. Featuring American Blues artists Manny Buckley, Ian Paul Custer, William Anthony Sebastian Rose II, and J.G. Smith.
