About The Play
East New York, Brooklyn. Kenyatta Shakur is alone. His wife has died, and this former Black Revolutionary and political prisoner is desperate to reconnect with his estranged daughter, Nina. If Kenyatta truly wants to reconcile his past, he must first conquer his most challenging revolution of all – fatherhood. This is a story about love, political action, and one woman's journey from a brutal existence to her own liberation.
Chicago-based Mikaela Johnson leads the ensemble with her extensive theater background, including standout roles in Pipeline, Jar the Floor, and Black by Popular Demand. Detroit native Delanti Hall, known for his performances in Pipeline and Bambiland, brings authenticity and energy to the production. Ron Ware, a seasoned actor with a rich history of stage and screen work, adds depth and gravitas to the story. Together, this dynamic ensemble delivers a performance that is both gripping and unforgettable.
