In Thurman E. Scott's compelling new play, We Are One, audiences embark on a journey with four families living across continents and centuries, experiencing the profound ramifications of slavery and its enduring impact. From the intimate family struggles to the broader societal implications, the play is a powerful exploration of prejudice, truth, and unity. At a time when many politicians seek to rewrite history (and ban books), this important work confronts the distortions around these topics and combats them with messages of empathy and understanding.

Connecting the silenced voices of a proud African family living in the 1800s and three modern-day NYC families grappling with loss and discrimination, We Are One offers a searing, heartfelt examination that challenges perceptions and inspires unity. Set against the backdrop of a Harlem church, Scott's original work challenges viewers to examine difficult truths, embrace our shared humanity, and recognize the common threads that bind us together.

Don't miss this transformative theatrical experience that prompts reflection, ignites conversation, and inspires hope for a more united future.
