The show is now closed!

Passing, by Sheri Bailey and based on Nella Larson's novella, is set against the roaring 1920's and the Harlem Renaissance. Dealing with the issue of a Black person passing for White, it centers on two women making explosive choices about sexuality, race and class.

MEET THE CAST & CREATIVES!

When first producer in 1997, PASSING had an overwhelming response which extended a six week run to ten! PASSING also won Best Actress and Best Costume awards from the NAACP and was nominated for Best Play, Best Playwright and Best Supporting Actor. TST later revived it THREE more times, with more wins and nominations. Nancy Cheryl Davis-Bellamy later turned it into a one woman show, taking it all the way to Germany for a special presentation. It is now being taught at various universities in America and Germany.
