"We see the same stars...and tell different stories."
Delve into the intersections of queerness, Blackness, and consciousness in writer/performer Letta Neely's transformative solo play, Pulling It All Into The Current, being presented at the United Solo Theatre Festival.
Set against a backdrop of urban complexity, this powerful production takes audiences on an emotional journey through the lives and struggles of those seeking to find their place in a challenging world.
Meet Rhonda, a fifteen-year-old whose path to self-discovery is filled with painful experiences. Follow Chocolate Marsh, a recovering addict, as he embarks on a transformative journey of healing and redemption. Join Laprecious, a teenage mother, as she navigates the delicate balance between her aspirations for her new daughter and protecting her from a harsh world.
Enter the vibrant world of Corner, a flamboyant artist whose art becomes a courageous voice of resistance against the gentrification of his beloved neighborhood. Experience the poetic brilliance of Professor Crooked-Leg Boo, a street poet whose evocative songs shed light on the harsh realities of street life.
And finally, be inspired by Preacher, a beacon of hope in a world riddled with hardships, as he uplifts and motivates those around him with his unwavering faith and inspiring words.
The spoken word takes center stage, transcending the conventional boundaries of storytelling, and becomes a powerful vehicle for introspection and empathy as a constellation of vibrant characters from teenagers to veterans, elders to addicts, queers to teachers, bring their unique perspectives, and share profound insights into the human experience.
