Cast Announced for SEARCHING FOR WILLIE LYNCH at Sandrell Rivers Theater
The production runs April 9 through April 26.
The cast for Searching for Willie Lynch at Sandrell Rivers Theater, written and directed by Layon Gray, has been announced, featuring a Miami ensemble.
Searching for Willie Lynch explores the haunting legacy of an alleged 1712 speech by Willie Lynch, a notorious slave owner on the James River in Virginia. The play examines the chilling methods he is said to have created to divide and control enslaved Africans, tactics whose echoes may still be felt generations later.
Set within the walls of a single Louisiana home, the story follows three families living in three different eras, 1930, 1965, and 2008. As buried tensions begin to surface, a mysterious door inside the house slowly reveals itself as more than just wood and hinges. It becomes a passage through time, uncovering secrets long hidden and connecting lives across generations.
As the past and present collide, the truth behind the house, and the legacy it carries, begins to emerge, forcing each generation to confront what was left behind... and what still remains.
The production stars original cast members Thaddeus Daniels and Melvin Huffnagle. Rounding out this powerful Miami ensemble are Jean Hyppolite, Andrea Garcia, Sheena O. Murray Roderick Randle, Jarryd Arden, Chad Atkins along with writer/director Layon Gray joining the ensemble.
Performances run April 9 through April 26 at the Sandrell Rivers Theater in Miami.
The production is produced and presented by M Ensemble Company, Inc.
