80 minutes

Pass Over is a co-production between
Theatre Exile and Theatre in the X
Directed by Ozzie Jones
Featuring Jared Chichester, Davon Johnson, and David Pica

Pass Over tells the story of two Black men, Moses and Kitch – friends hanging out on a city street corner, sharing dreams of an escape from their circumstances. When a stranger wanders onto their corner with his own agenda, he derails their plans of finding their promised land.

Written by award-winning playwright Antoinette Nwandu, Pass Over is a provocative riff of Waiting for Godot and the biblical Exodus story – a timely take told by a bold American voice. Nwandu purposely crafted language that some deem “profane” into poetic and humorous conversation, exposing the enduring spirit of two young men seeking a way out of a never-ending cycle.

Theatre Exile and Theatre in the X will present Pass Over as an outdoor, socially distanced performance before it makes its Broadway debut in fall 2021.

Pass Over is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.

Content Warning: Pass Over contains frequent and extreme profanity, loud gunshots, and flashing lights, and is intended for mature audiences.

Associate Producer: The Brothers’ Network

Community Partner: Friends of Hawthorne Park
