Breathe at Match 2

The Positive Project "Playahz" InSpirational Theatre Arts Company invite you to attend the Match 2 Theatre production of "Breathe", written, directed and starring Willie Alston as the iconic "Grandpa Richards".
This has been a period of uncertainty for many. A world thrown into viral chaos, families separated either by geographic boundaries or medical necessity and motivational pursuits stifled due to one of the smallest creatures in the universe – a virus. But this pales in comparison to the outbreak of cultural hatred that has poured out in its wake. There are still so many racial barriers we have yet to overcome. Racism is alive and well and living in the hearts of evil men. What happened to George Floyd was an atrocity so vile that I could not wrap my mind around the level of evil that existed in the mind of his murderer. So, in this format I pay tribute to a man who in life may not have been noticeable but in his death made the world take notice of a social cancer eating at the core of our human existence – Systemic Racism.
