Activity Description
Our current production, WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? written and directed by Yvette Heyliger is a play with music set mainly in the Black church. It is the story of a God-fearing family rocked to its core when the wife/mother learns that she may have been exposed to HIV by her husband. Devastated by secrets in her own home and blind-eye rejection of the problem in her community; she is inspired to take action when she asks, "What would Jesus do?" Due to subject matter, this entertaining drama is recommended for patrons 14 and older.
This compelling drama will take place in the elegant 200- seat Billie Holiday Theatre, named after the legendary singer Billie Holiday, which has served as the training ground of notable, aspiring theater professionals.
Described as a theatre with a "soul and a mission," this intimate performance space has produced special programs that address social issues of concern and interest to the African-American and Caribbean-American communities.
