We speak with director Kevin Free about the West Coast premiere of the Broadway version of Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu’s acclaimed drama, Pass Over.

Hailed as “bold, urgent, and impassioned” (Time Out New York), Pass Over tells the story of Moses and Kitch, two young Black men who pass the time talking smack and hoping that maybe today will be different. As they dream of their promised land, a stranger wanders into their space and disrupts their plans. Evoking heartbreak, hope, and joy over its 85 minutes, Pass Over crafts everyday profanities into poetic and humorous riffs, illuminating the unquestionable human spirit of young, Black men looking for a way out. Featuring a spectacular new ending only seen in the recent acclaimed Broadway engagement, Pass Over is a rare piece of politically charged theater by a bold new American voice. Pass Over is showing at the Marin Theater Company.

And later we speak with Dr. Adrienne Whatley about Queens Underground International and the Third Annual International Black History Month Film Festival featuring movies, documentaries, music, poetry videos, and series episodes spanning the themes of the past, present, and future. The film festival will feature live performances, panels, and guest speakers, will be presented in a virtual session on February 26, 2022.  Tickets are available for purchase now at https://queensundergroundblackhistorymonthfilmfest.eventbrite.com.
