"I have worked with the magnificent Thuli Dumakude for over thirty years, since she played the lead in Poppie Nongena Off-Broadway many years ago," said producer Eric Krebs in a statement. "When she said to me that she wanted to try to develop a new show with a terrific and multi-talented unknown African singer, I gave her a space to work in and said, 'Go to it.’ The results are a deeply moving performance that is drawing high praise in our workshops."

The Playroom Theater is located at 151 West 46th St., Manhattan. To purchase tickets, priced $30, visit ThePlayRoomTheater.
