Opening Our 13th Season!
WAAFRIKA 123
Written by Nick Hadikwa Mwaluko
Directed by Lisa Marie Brimmer
1992. A rural village outside Nairobi, Kenya, on the eve of the country’s first democratic elections, and everyone is brewing with expression. There, although lesbians and transgender people “don’t exist” in Kenya, two queers fall in love: Awino, from the Luo tribe, and Bobby, an American development worker.
“‘Waafrika 123,’ skillfully crafted and chillingly paced, may be the first play addressing FGM together with issues related to transgender and lesbian love. It amplifies our understanding and opens our hearts.” — Dr. Dagmar Schultz, producer and director of “Audre Lorde – The Berlin Years: 1984 -1992”
Featuring Dua Saleh, Antonio Banks, Brenda Bell Brown, Marcela Michelle-Mobama, Shenique Emelife, Briana Patnode, Ayesha Adu & Wolf Valencia.
Production Team: Julia Nekessa Opoti, Keila Anali Saucedo, Constance Brevell, Madeline Achen, Marcela Michelle-Mobama, Courtney Schmitz & Christy Johnson.
