Pass Over

PASS OVER, by Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu is heading to Bellingham!

The Bellingham Theatre Guild at New Prospect Theatre will be hosting Stage Left Theater’s production of Pass Over on Saturday, September 9.

Pass Over recently took top honors at the American Association of Community Theatres’ (AACT) national competition in Louisville, Kentucky. Awards included Best Play, Best Director, and Best Ensemble. The national win comes after the troupe took a host of awards at state and regional competitions in Tacoma, Washington and in McMinnville, Oregon.

Moses and Kitch stand around on the corner – talking shit, passing the time, and hoping that maybe today will be different. As they dream of their promised land, a stranger wanders into their space with his own agenda and derails their plans. Emotional and lyrical, Pass Over crafts everyday profanities into poetic and humorous riffs, exposing the unquestionable human spirit of young men stuck in a cycle just looking for a way out. A provocative riff on Waiting for Godot, Pass Over is a rare piece of politically charged theater by a bold new American voice. (Concord Theatricals, 2023).

Stage Left’s production includes Dahveed Bullis as Moses, Matthew Slater as Kitch, and Danny Anderson as Mister/Ossifer. The play is 52 minutes long with no intermission. Other troupe members include Malcolm Pelles (Director), Michael Schmidt (Stage Manager), Alana Shepherd (Lighting Designer), and Jeremy Whittington (Scenic and Sound Designer). The troupe performed an encore performance at Gonzaga University in July, but this will be their first out-of-town tour of the play after the trip to nationals.
