LEROY AND LUCY

By Ngozi Anyanwu, directed by Awoye Timpo
October 24 - December 15, 2024
In the Ensemble Theater

Two lost souls meet at a crossroads, in the dead of night, deep in the Mississippi of it all.  With a yearning guitar between them, they tell secrets and conjure a sound once forgotten—a tune pitched with Leroy’s longing and the sweet purr of Lucy’s desires. In this sultry world premiere, a play with music from Ngozi Anyanwu, the Delta Blues fills the air, the future lies just down the road, and we are everywhere and nowhere all at once.
