For the Love of Whiskey, a new play by Ty-Quan Payne, will make its world premiere at Teatro Latea this December, with performances on December 8, 12, and 14. The production will be directed by Christina Franklin.
The play explores themes of heritage, family legacies, and self-discovery, blending personal storytelling with social reflection. Drawing on Payne’s own experiences, For the Love of Whiskey invites audiences to consider how ancestry and history shape identity and personal choice.
“This play has been aging for a decade, and I’m thrilled to finally share this deeply personal narrative,” said Ty-Quan Payne. “It’s a story crafted to mirror the experience of anyone who has faced profound decisions about their ancestral roots, asking us all to explore the ingredients that make up our own ‘grandma’s house.’”
Produced by Love Payne Productions, the work continues the company’s commitment to creating socially conscious theatre that inspires dialogue and community connection.
