"Based on the real-life encounters of the members of Poor Righteous Teachers, this performance speaks to the lived experiences of countless residents of our community. As the residents of Divineland fight for representation and for the truth to be shared, these fearless fighters harnessed the power of technology, connection, and generational wisdom to make their way in the world."

The cast features a stacked lineup of stellar performers, including Tasha Holmes (Gekiyla), Davon Cochran (Ameen), Carlo Campbell (Papi Shh), Craig Storrod (Ghetto God), and Alicia Thomas (Ghetto God).
