Amani takes us on a personal journey that shows the world through the eye of a daughter, Amani, as she grows up building a rocket ship with her father. Her father vows to make it to outer space: where his child can breathe easy, where there are no gangs to take his first love’s life, nor prisons to take Black boys’ best years. As Amani moves into adulthood, she seeks her voice and her own dreams. Will Amani make it to the moon? Presented by National Black Theatre in partnership with Rattlestick Theater, this world premiere is written by rising playwright a.k. payne and directed by current NBT Soul Series Directing Resident Josiah Davis.
