Written by Donnetta Lavinia Grays

Tuesday, April 16th at 7pm
A young and self-righteous art critic finds her ardent beliefs shaken once she challenges those of an iconic artist. As their lives intertwine and careers sky-rocket to the detriment of their personal lives, secrets are made and revealed, hearts are broken, and art is created in this sexy, face-paced drama that explores loss and sacrifice.

Now at his funeral, a wild and raucous company demand she make a choice between a public demonstration of her love for him and her own dreams. Stereotypes and myths of brown-ness are exploded, exploited, re-arranged, and re-envisioned as a woman faces a choice to become a goddess or remain mortal.
