About This Production
“The world you’re about to see ain’t yours”
In this “historically inaccurate” world – imagine that after the election of President Trump in 2016 there was a second Civil War that segregated the country. A community of an all-Black state raises concerns after a resident’s partner, who is Afro-Latinx, moves to town.
This dynamic, funny, and heart-wrenching winner of the 2021 Yale Drama Series Prize was previously seen at Orlando Shakes as a part of PlayFest 2020. Now see this ground-breaking, fully produced production!

Critic and Audience Reviews
-Michael Freeman, Freeline Media“The play boldly, comically, and with a good deal of passion and emotion, takes us into an entirely new concept of what blackness and queerness mean today.”
