Exploring the dangerous underworld of human trafficking, Jacquay Waller's Traffik is an unflinching look at the elements that make up this seedy practice. You will gasp, awe and cringe as you experience the stories of those who are victims of this crime and those who knowingly (or unwittingly) helped participate. Traffik posits that anyone you know could be a victim, and this engaging production will help open your eyes. At the end of the show, audience members can dialogue with the characters from the performance for an even bigger dose of reality. Learn More

I honestly had no clue what this play was going to be about. I bought tickets because American Idol Finalist Tamyra Gray was suppose to be starring in it. Sadly unknowing to me, she left the play and another actress was playing her role, so I was sulking when I didn't see her name on the playbill and was ready to leave, but decided to watch anyway. I ended up really enjoying the show. Talented cast and very deep storyline that tied history, black struggle and political victory for a country that has grown and still has some growing to do. Good Story, Wonderful actors, & Great message! I recommend go see!!!

I did not enjoy it at all. Others with us actually left at the interval. I thought it was a very poorly written script and there was no real storyline. The acting could also have been much better.

More Information About Our Time Has Come

Description

In a dazzling display of political insight and masterful storytelling, Sylvester Stephens presents a stage play about what has been wrong throughout America’s past and what can be made right in its future. Our Time Has Come is the story of a former slave’s prophecy that his descendants would one day rise above the manacles of slavery to the pinnacle of society!

Based on the book by Sylvester Stephens, Our Time Has Come is not just “a piece of artistic expression,” it is “a peace of mind movement” to entertain and educate audiences on the message of equality, evenhandedness and empowerment!

Flashback to an America before the 2008 presidential election and before Senator Barack Obama’s rousing speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.  As Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed a new dream for America and the Civil Rights Movement push progress forward for African Americans, the Rev. Jesse Jackson simply proclaimed “Our Time Has Come” in his presidential bid during the 1984 Democratic National Convention.
