Pass Over
A Play by Antoinette Nwandu
September 12-14, 2024
Thursday at 8pm, Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 2pm and 8pm
TICKETSA provocative riff on Waiting for Godot, Pass Over is a rare piece of politically charged theater by a bold American voice.
Moses and Kitch stand around on the corner – talking, passing the time, and hoping that maybe today will be different. As they dream of their promised land, a stranger wanders into their space with his own agenda and derails their plans. Emotional and lyrical, Pass Over crafts everyday profanities into poetic and humorous riffs, exposing the unquestionable human spirit of young men stuck in a cycle just looking for a way out.
Featuring Bryce Foley, Emmanuel Mendez, and MacCallister Byrd Directed by Justin Cimino Stage Manager/Costume Design: Alex Church-Gonzales Set/Props Design: Federica Borlenghi Lighting Design: Hayley Garcia Parnell Fight Choreography: Natalia Mar Urzua Sound Design: Justin Cimino “Pass Over” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.comBecoming Chavela
