WE ARE THE WHOLE CAST

A powerful two-woman production featuring Carmen Guynn and Ieshah Edwards as eight unforgettable characters. From Ayoka’s ancestral Bomba to Mama Kicki’s fiery faith and flask, each woman shares her truth through humor, heritage, and heart. Whether it’s Jasmine’s joyful innocence, Lupita’s diner wisdom, Mrs. Jenkins’ Bronx sass, Tasha’s fearless grit, Sister Bernadette Grace’s holy mischief, or Isabella De La Cruz’s final bow, this theatrical journey celebrates the richness and resilience of womanhood.
