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

The House is always great. Wilson Wants it All asks you to think about how far political partisanship can go and how much good it does us. Way to go House! Interesting concept, well-designed, well-acted.Written on Mar 29 2010
