BANANA BOAT IS BACK!


WHO WE ARE

Our mission is to 1) develop and present new plays and playwrights, particularly women and people of color, 2) present classic plays in a style that sheds new light on our lives and work, and 3) offer theatre and its benefits to under-served audiences—especially young people and communities in need—to build life skills and promote positive participation in our society.

Lifetime by Nigel D. Moffatt (Jamaica)

In this Award-winning play, Archie, recently widowed,
takes a hard look at married life.


Cinderella Syndrome by Zeno Obi Constance (Trinidad)
What's better...part-time sadness or full-time madness?
Domestic abuse drives Virginia into a re-imagined fairytale
of temporary, but unsteady comfort.
