Since Africa 
What must America look like to someone who's spent most of his life in an African refugee camp?
Since Africa is the story of Ater - a "Lost Boy of Sudan," and the two volunteers who try to acclimate him to life in urban America: Diane - a recently widowed socialite, and Reggie - an African-American Deacon in the Catholic Church. As the three clash and tangle, they confront some difficult questions about identity, loss, ritual, and grief. A uniquely American story about the search for where we belong. Featuring Rosina Reynolds*, Mark Christopher Lawrence*, Erika Beth Phillips*, Nyeda Lane, and, making his stage debut, Alephonsion Awer Deng, a "Lost Boy of Sudan" himself, and co-author of the book about the Lost Boys' experience, They Poured Fire On Us From The Sky. *Member of Actors Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.
