Photos: James Ijames' KILL MOVE PARADISE Gets Southern CA Premiere At The Odyssey

Now in previews, the Southern California premiere of “Kill Move Paradise,” a humorous, uplifting, powerful new drama by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright James Ijames, opens at the Odyssey Theatre this Saturday. See photos from the production. 

Four Black men, torn from the world without warning, find themselves stuck in a cosmic waiting room in the afterlife. As they attempt to make sense of their new paradise, Isa, Daz, Grif and Tiny play, sing, tease and uplift one another, even as they’re forced to confront how they arrived in this unearthly place. Inspired by the ever-growing list of slain Black men and women and the fear and threat of death they continue to face daily, “Kill Move Paradise” is an electrifying reminder of our collective humanity.

Directed by Gregg T. Daniel, the production stars Cedric Joe, Ulato Sam, Jonathan P. Sims and Ahkei Togun.

Performances continue through November 3. For more information and to purchase tickets, go to OdysseyTheatre.com.
