Uptown Players To Present The Regional Premiere Of Harrison David Rivers WE ARE CONTINUOUS

Uptown Players will present the regional premiere of Harrison David Rivers' “we are continuous,” a deeply moving and evocative exploration of family, self-identity, and love. Running February 7 through February 23, 2025, at the Norma Young Arena Stage inside Theatre Three, this production will challenge and inspire audiences with its powerful storytelling and universal themes.

Directed by Natalie King, the production features a stellar cast, including Denise Lee, Micah Brooks, and Quintin Jones, Jr., who bring to life the story of Simon, a gay Black man; Ora, his devout Christian mother; and Simon's husband, Abe. Together, they navigate the complexities of love, identity, and forgiveness. Through richly drawn characters and heart-wrenching dialogue, Harrison David Rivers illustrates the resilience required to heal fractured relationships and embrace the enduring ties that bind us all.

Simon and Ora share a close but fraught relationship, marked by Ora's struggle to reconcile her faith with her son's identity. The play invites audiences on an intimate journey of acceptance, growth, and the transformative power of love.
