DAS A WIBE PROFILE PRESS RELEASE WRITTEN BY ARTHIA NIXON
Onike Archer, Judah Seymour and Torrell Glinton play three lost souls reflecting on the wrong choices they made which resulted in the loss of their young lives in Das A Vibe. Organizers hope schools will allow students to attend and will use the opportunity of this viewing to lead into discussions and reflection on how to curb school violence and to avoid other at-risk behaviours plaguing society.
Up and coming filmmaker and president of C2it Productions Moya Thompson has double duty as the director and producer of Das A Vibe, a teen-targeted play highlighting the possible consequences of drug dealing, gang-banging and sex and their effects on individual’s lives.
With the powerful tagline of “Think twice, you only live once”, there is no question what C2it Productions hopes to accomplish with their back by popular demand performance of Das A Wibe, a play geared towards youth and keeping them on a preventative path from social ills such as drugs, sex, gang-banging and crime.
The play centers around three souls reminiscing about their lives while in the afterlife. As they deal with their current situation, they try to assess how they could have avoided their demise. Each story seems separate but as the plot unravels, viewers piece together the connections of how the characters unknowingly are responsible not only for their own deaths, but for each others’ deaths because of the way they confronted the temptations of drugs, sex and crime – all the result of peer pressure.
The play was originally written by founder of Dramatic Force, Osvon Pratt and later rewritten with the assistance of screenwriter, actress and teacher Moya Thompson who serves as both the director and producer for the production. Other contributors include step choreographer Kaylen Jervis, assistant Director of Culture and dance choreographer, Dereka Deleveaux-Grant and youth leader and karate instructor Jawara Pierre.
The show will take place at 8:00 pm on Friday April 25th at The National Center for the Performing Arts, Shirley Street at the cost $15. There will be special performances for school groups taking place from 10:30am to 12:00pm for a much lower rate.
As a result of the youth associated in bringing the drama to life, the play is something youth can appreciate as it intermarries today’s teen vernacular, stirring musical accompaniment ranging from old spirituals to Hip Hop and R&B and creative film/stage combination for flashbacks. Tinged with pantomime, karate, stepping and other modern moves, the show has received rave reviews from churches, school counselors, parents and of course, students and youth.
