Different Strokes! Performing Arts Collective is proud to announce the upcoming workshop performance of "Nuances of Night", a new and gripping two‑actor drama by actor/playwrights Matt Lutz and Ambo Tazanu.
A workshop performance is a space where the script, the actors, and the director can test the material in front of a preliminary audience and listen for where the play is solid and where it might need strengthening.
Set in Washington, DC, during the early months of the COVID‑19 pandemic, the play follows the multiracial relationship between Deja and Jared, two longtime friends whose shared history, emotional intimacy, and unspoken truths collide over several charged weeks in 2020, when the world was held captive by COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd. Their conversations about race, body image, and longing feel deeply personal yet deeply recognizable, especially for audiences who lived through the isolation and uncertainty of 2020. Nuances of Night invites audiences to consider how the events of that year reshaped our understanding of love, friendship, and the fragile boundaries between them. “This play reflects exactly the kind of work we believe matters. It is human, complicated, and unafraid to ask real questions", says Different Strokes! Artistic Director, Stephanie Hickling Beckman. "Nuances of Night" captures the emotional weight of 2020 while reminding us of the importance of connection.
