...but you could've held my hand at Atwater Village Theatre

IAMA Theatre Company concludes its 18th season with the workshop production of ...but you could've held my hand, written by JuCoby Johnson and directed by H. Adam Harris. The play is a time-hopping portrait of four Black friends growing up, growing apart, and growing into themselves, moving through a non-linear swirl of past and present pulsing with 90s R&B, prom night confessions, awkward first kisses, and other touchstone moments. Through love, queerness, and friends-turned-family, the play explores the beauty and heartbreak of relationships across a lifetime. The cast features Wade Allain-Marcus as Max, Paul James as Eddie, Courtney Sauls as Marigold, and Krenée A. Tolson as Charlie.
