The Awakening is a compelling drama that delves into the life of Jason, a young man caught in the grip of gang influence and struggling to find a way out. Set against the backdrop of an African American community, the play explores Jason's intense pressures and choices as he battles between loyalty to his gang and the love of his family. With Grandma Sadie's and Mr. Abdullah's guidance, Jason's journey becomes one of self-discovery and redemption, offering a powerful message of hope and the possibility of change.

Burgh Vivant: “The dialogue in this play is gritty, authentic and not for the ears of young children. Its uplifting message is an important one, predicting hope for a better future for today's youth.”

onStage Pittsburgh: “A powerful, emotionally gripping narrative that addresses the influence of gangs and peer pressure, while delivering a message of hope and the possibility of change.”

SoulPitt: “The Awakening is a compelling exploration of Jason’s life, vividly portraying the cultural and spiritual battle for one’s soul.”
