Selah, a paralegal living in Flatbush, Brooklyn, is guided by the manifestation of Queen Njinga, Ngola of Ndongo, as she travels to Crown Heights after sunset. A Brooklyn Afro-surrealist odyssey about the revelation of things seen and unseen.

A thirty-minute Afro-surrealist one-act about history colliding into the present in water set in Alexandria, Virginia. In 1951, 9-year-old Lonnie and 11-year-old Leroy Johnson, brothers, drowned while trying to sail a cardboard boat across the Potomac River in Alexandria, Virginia. This play is a critical fabulation, partially Now and partially Then, partially at a swim competition and partially Nowhere, of who they were and where they went. History comes in currents, evoking quantum relationships between generations of Black Alexandrians and waves.

On June 19, 1953, African-American journalist Lorraine Freeman searches for a passerby's quote on the Rosenberg execution. When she encounters Ami Allan, a White jazz singer who sings at small club on U Street, in the centre of D.C.'s Black Broadway. When they unintendedly become entangled in the mysterious deaths of three young Black men, they must navigate a Red Scare-era Washington, D.C., and reckon with what it means to stay, go, or wait on a movement.

Sylvia Hurston comes from a New York that has ceased to exist. She believes that the revolution--and the dream of the long-awaited movement--has passed her by. One morning, an old friend, a new friend, and a stranger appear at her door, and time collapses upon itself.
