By: Stephi Wild Sep. 19, 2023
Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) presents the highly anticipated World Premiere of Our Lady of Common Sorrows by Jaiie Dayo Aliya. The play was a huge hit with audiences when it was presented in CPT’s Test Flight 2023, an annual developmental program for writers of all levels. Based on its successful performance during the initial 3-day run in Test Flight last January, Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan felt it was ready for a full run.
About the Play
The assumed immaculate conception of a 15-year-old honor student incites a crisis of faith for her family. Award-winning playwright Jaiie Dayo Aliya takes us on a psychedelic ride where reality dances with fantasy, everyone is suspect, and big questions are asked about God, faith, and the value of life.
Featuring: Dar’Jon Bentley, Isaiah Betts, Cristal Christian, LaShawn Little, Royce The Voice Ruffin, Amy Spencer, Kynnedy, Ashley Aquilla.
