BOCA RATON, Fla. - March 5, 2020 - WHO: The Evocative Off-Broadway Production of "Waking Kya."
Delivering the universal themes of heartache, healing, and hope above all, "Waking Kya," written by Siobhan Fitzpatrick, is the reflective journey of two sisters living in a Liberian refugee camp, each coping from the traumas of war.
WHAT: Inspired by shockingly real stories of the Sierra Leone Civil War, the emotionally riveting production will come to Boca Raton this weekend.
The international ensemble features actors, dancers, and singers hailing from the likes of Haiti, Jamaica, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, West Africa, and North America, merging an eclectic mix of African sound and movement, as well as interpretations of social injustice.
WHEN: Show Times: Saturday 3/7/2020 at 7 pm; Sunday 3/8/2020 at 2 pm and 7 pm.
WHERE: FAU - University Theatre, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431
WHY: In honor of Women's History Month and International Women's Day.
"Today, "Waking Kya" is still (unfortunately) as relevant as ever with so many war-torn regions throughout the world, resulting in hundreds of thousands of displaced persons," said Siobhan.
"It's more than a story of survival; it is a story about how, as females, we can help lift each other out of the darkness. Because we are inherent caregivers, we women know how to use our pain as a vehicle to help others, and that is something truly extraordinary and beautiful," said show director Sonia Artwell.
HOW: Tickets for the show can be purchased online at www.wakingkya.com and https://lafran-entertainment-waking-kya-play-tickets.even...
