The Light
Not every marriage proposal goes as planned… Loy A. Webb’s The Light introduces us to Rashad and Genesis on what should be one of the happiest days of their lives, but their joy quickly unravels when ground- shifting accusations from the past resurface in this gripping two character drama. Can their relationship survive the growing divide between them over who – and what – to believe? The Light is a reckoning that unfolds in real time and peels away the layers of truth, doubt, pain and ultimately, the power of love.
This show is produced by the Black Theatre Troupe of Upstate NY.
