The production is running December 2-4 at The Shrine of the Black Madonna.
The Normal Anomaly Initiative, Inc., a Houston-based nonprofit dedicated to assisting Black, queer+ people with overcoming barriers and ending stigmas and problematic narratives, is proud to announce casting for the Workshop Production of sTrapped, a new play by Dr. Arelia Johnson & Bryan-Keyth Wilson.

In sTrapped, seven strangers come to the theatre expecting to see Award-Winning playwright Bryan-Keyth Wilson's new play about gun violence, but they are told by the stage manager the performance is canceled. Tempers flare, and a mysterious, omnipresent voice begins to calm the audience down and interrogate the seven strangers who are upset. Trauma is uncovered as we learn about the seven strangers and deeper conversations on sexuality, religion, and colonization come to the surface.
sTrapped stars Johnny Myers (He/Him) as Dylan, Tadrian White (He/Him) as Bell, Tro'Sha Monique Pickrom (She/Her) as Sharon, Eden Rose Torres (She/Her) as Ashlynn, Demetrus Singleton (He/Him) as Dwayne, Cameron King (She/Her) as Vee, Cardero Berryman (He/Him) as P.J., and Diamantina Browdy (She/Her) as The Voice. Understudy: Jacqueline Harrison (She/Her).
The creative team includes Bryan-Keyth Wilson (Playwright/Director), Dr. Arelia Johnson (Playwright), LaTreva Washington (Assistant Director) and Danielle James (Stage Manager).
