Pass Over, written by New York American playwright, Antoinette Nwandu, is a dark
comedy that explores the current racial landscape and poses questions about the
future. NiA founder and artistic director, Darion McCloud performs one of the roles in the
play, alongside NiA company members Mario Haynes and Rob McCue and is directed
by Lonetta Thompson.
“NiA is known for introducing audiences to thoughtful and provoking subjects,
characters and themes in our plays and storytelling. This piece is no exception,”
McCloud said. “Bring an open mind, but leave the kiddos at home for this one.”
Director Lonetta Thompson said, “We believe this play is relevant and timely, reflecting
the unjust struggles and questions black people face in this country - past and present.
It’s inspired by Beckett’s Waiting for Godot with elements of the Book of Exodus from
the Bible, yet Nwandu's lyrical use of current language is poetic, profane and profound.”
