A staged reading of a new play by Princeton senior Oriana Nelson. Two best friends, Alana and Destiny, go to Puerto Rico to enjoy their final winter break as college seniors. During a wild night out in La Placita, Alana meets Gabriel who shows her that the island isn’t just about its beaches and reggaeton. Based on oral history archives, Afro-Puerto Rican characters like Gabriel will expose Alana and Destiny to stories that showcase strength, resistance, and pride in one’s African heritage. These stories reveal a new perspective that makes the friends question their views about the Afro-diaspora. Directed by Nelson who will also read the role of Alana.
