In The Continuum

Our first show on Thursday was a play written and performed by two American actors, Danai Gurira and Nikkole Salter. This is a brilliantly performed play that addresses the humanity behind the skyrocketing statistics of African and African American females infected with HIV. The play pairs Abigail, a married professional Zimbabwean woman, and Nia, a young talented poet /working retain from Los Angeles, CA. The play weaves the two lives on parallel tracks as each woman discovers first, the joy of their new pregnancies and secondly, the emotionally devastating reality of their HIV status. We journey with these women through the betrayal, denial, desperation, awareness and fear. We pray for their triumph and ache for their inevitable excruciating pain. Robert O’Hara masterfully directed the world premiere of this production, which has garnered both national and international acclaim over the past two years. If you have the opportunity to see this production, don’t let it slip by.

To quote Marcus as we exited the theatre... "Damn that was EXCELLENT."

Do your thang ladies!
