Mecca University is in an uproar over the police killing of beloved college student Deep, and no one is more determined to solve the mystery of his death than his girlfriend Azure. But as Azure begins putting the pieces together, she may learn that Deep’s death hits closer to home than she ever imagined. Using the heightened language of Hip Hop, Jazz and Blues, Chadwick A. Boseman takes us on a journey where the spiritual and physical realms meet, forcing us to grapple with universal truths of Justice, Love, and Divine Will.
Directed by artist, playwright, curator, rapper and cultural convener NSangou Njikam along with Creative Consultant Phylicia Rashad, the evening offers an incredible lineup of gifted and talented actors. Additional artists are soon to be announced for the staged reading, making this a memorable evening of theatre and community. Producers: Derrick Boseman, Kevin Boseman, and Simone Ledward Boseman.
