Brand New Play The New Englanders Premieres This September

The New Englanders follows the story of Eisa who aspires to be the next Lauryn Hill but feels like she is going nowhere in her quiet New England town. The play also focuses on Eisa's two fathers who both have their own issues to deal with - one who is trying to re-kindle an old romance, the other who wants to stay on the life path he's already embarked on.

The New Englanders was written by Jeff Augustin who has also conceived the plays 'The Last Tiger in Haiti,' 'Little Children Dream of God' and 'Cry Old Kingdom.' Growing up, Jeff Augustin has previously stated how Haitian folklore inspired his imagination and helped him to write stories. Tales of runaways, new identities, spirits and deities influenced the playwright's work.
