About this Event

Daisy Dumas-Featherstone's potent play, MAST-MASK is a winner of the Inaugural Voza Rivers Legacy Series' Competition.


CONTENT ADVISORY
MAST/MASK follows Avery Mae Johnson, a young Black Navy servicewoman whose life is shattered after a brutal assault that no one will acknowledge. Branded unstable by the Navy, she spirals into exile—until a chance encounter brings her face-to-face with one of her attackers. In a world where everyone hides behind masks, the truth fights to be seen—and exposed.

Presented by New Heritage Theatre Group in Partnership with The City College of New York

Directed by Michael Anthony Green

DON'T MISS THE LAST FULL-LENGTH READING! PLEASE WATCH FOR THE NEW DATE!

February 23rd Snow Date TBD: If Only Yesterday by Eric Richardson-Hagans


The screenplay, If Only Yesterday, is a poignant journey seen through the eyes of an aging father, blending humor, heartache, and the enduring power of friendship and love. A deeply moving tribute to a life well lived. An emotional roller-coaster ride you won’t soon forget.

This series is sponsored, in part, by the West Harlem Development Corporation, public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (Cultural Development Fund), and the Mozaic Network and Fund; with additional support from the Nederlander Organization and the Shubert Organization.
