A Cool Dip in the Barren Saharan Crick

The World Premiere of a play by Kia Corthron (BREATH, BOOM; FORCE CONTINUUM). Featuring Keith Eric Chappelle, William Jackson Harper, Joshua King, Kianne Muschett, and Myra Lucretia Taylor. Directed by Chay Yew (DURANGO).

An African preacher-in-training arrives in drought-stricken rural America intending to further his studies in religion and water conservation. Hosted by a mother and daughter haunted by tragedy, he takes an interest in a young orphan starved for guidance – all the while maintaining an infectious optimism in the face of his obstacles. Undaunted, the preacher determines to battle – by any means necessary – the personal and political forces that threaten the ecology of his new home.
