Your story, your way

With her trickster spirit guides Peps! and Cola, will Nyla navigate through the blurs of time and space to embrace her full identity and the land of J’ouvert joy or be stuck in the cycles which have contained her.

Digging into those ethnographic roots and the PCB team is going to Trinidad! - Dalyla
Conducting field research centered on Trinidad Carnival and J'ouvert offers deep cultural insights that will significantly enhance our productions in Atlanta. This research explores themes of liberation, resilience, and community inherent in these celebrations, which are crucial for authentically representing Black, Queer, Fem, and other intersectionally marginalized identities. By understanding these traditions, we can better connect the spirit of "coming home" to our narratives, ensuring they resonate deeply and inclusively with diverse audiences. This approach supports the development of more impactful and representative productions

Peps! Cola Bitch (PCB) for Stage of the PCB multimedia production suite was presented as part of the SheATL Festival. This represents a milestone in its year-long creative journey through the Alliance Theatre Reiser Lab. Performed to two full audiences at 7 Stages Black Box in Atlanta, GA, the show earned standing ovations and resonated with audience calls for more. As one element of a broader suite spanning stage, screen, and interactive experiences, PCB for Stage is a bold testament to the power of storytelling

Living Room Reading
January 2024 - HTD Productions
I absolutely adore the development journey of PCB, especially the vibrant sense of community it's nurtured—my community, and perhaps soon, our community too!
In January 2024, a cozy corner of my living room transformed into a creative hub. Some of my favorite ATL-based creators and trusted theatre advisors came together for an intimate reading and feedback session. The room was buzzing with fantastic energy, helping to prepare this passion project for its grand debut on stage!
