Debra Ehrhardt's acclaimed solo show Jamaica, Farewell is based on a mostly true story about the playwright's journey to the USA from Jamaica in the turbulent 1970s of the Manley Era. As an 18-year-old secretary in Kingston, Jamaica, Ehrhardt and her passion for America bump into a handsome CIA agent over a bowl of oxtail soup. She decides to squeeze through the pinhole of opportunity with the help of this love-struck American. Her way out of Jamaica is blocked by many obstacles: an alcoholic father, a Bible-spouting mother, the price of an air ticket and U.S. government suspicions. The boundary between bravery and foolishness becomes blurred as she becomes more desperate. When she agrees to smuggle a million dollars in cash to a mysterious contact somewhere in Miami, the agent becomes her unwitting accomplice. NAACP Award-winner Ehrhardt plays every part. Jamaica, Farewell is directed by Joel Zwick (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) and has been optioned for film by a major Hollywood producer. Learn More

It was enjoyable and the performers were entertaining. Only 4 people from the entire audience were selected and 2 of them were a couple. I recommend for anyone that enjoys game shows. It reminded me of a very, very, very low budget of the price is right.Written on Dec 06 2010

It is a great show with a lot of audience interaction. The Island Pacific Dancers were a "random" and yet pleasant surprise. They definitely make you feel comfortable even when you don't know any of the answers to black history month. I was pulled from the audience for the "trivia" and "dance off" and it was great! I would recommend it to all my friends. I do advice you to get early and buy tickets as soon as they go on sale. Parking is difficult to factor enough time to look for parking.Written on Jan 30 2011
