KC Melting Pot Theatre to Stage LONG TIME SINCE YESTERDAY This March
Performances run March 12-21, 2026.
KC Melting Pot Theatre willpresent Long Time Since Yesterday, by P.J. Gibson. When a group of old friends reunite for the funeral of their brilliant but troubled friend, Janet, grief unearths long-buried truths. Performances run March 12-21, 2026.
Ex-lovers, former rivals, and estranged sisters in spirit—Lois, Alisa, Janeen, and Renee—come together, only to find that the past still holds them captive. Tensions rise as they confront love, loss, ambition, and the unspoken struggles of Black womanhood. Long Time Since Yesterday is an emotionally charged exploration of friendship, trauma, and the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability.
