Upcoming Project: Is Cry You Cry'n
Grace is staging a green-card wedding at her house: Tashie–who recently came from Trinidad with her son Likkle–is marrying her Americanized ”cousin” Nap, who brings his “friend” to the wedding. Many years later, four fraternity pledges are experiencing their last night of hell week before becoming full-fledged brothers: they make dances, crack jokes, and test one another’s love. Both stories take place in the same basement, with double-cast actors blurring the lines of identity. “If cat mek kitten in an oven does that make it bun?” is a Trini saying our mothers might tell us if we dare suggest we are not really Trini. Is Cry You Cry’n? is about the dream this proverb aspires to make real.

“For me, our job as artists is to serve the story, serve the director, and serve the fellow actors. And if you do that, by osmosis you’re serving yourself because you’ll get the best out of yourself.” - David Oyelowo
