...if you want to go far, go together.

Destiny Theater Experience and Verge Theater Company present their united 26-27 season.

Free and Public Citizen
Written by Alicia Haymer
Directed by Shawn Whitsell.

A man protesting for justice, a brother seeking redemption from his past. A family and its community ravaged by environmental pollution. How much has to be lost before they are heard?

November 12-14 & 19-21

MANDY
Written by Shawn Whitsell
Directed by Alicia Haymer

In the small town of Madisonville, Kentucky, Amanda "Mandy" Hollman, a Black woman, is found dead from a sh***un blast at her home in the 1920's. Her death was ruled a su***de. But Madisonville's Black community has never believed it. Years later, an oak tree Mandy planted shortly before her death grows to form an uncanny resemblance to her profile. The community discovers that this mysterious white oak, which became known as the Mandy Tree, is the keeper of a secret that refuses to die.

Based on true events.

February 19-21 & 25-27
