“I wanna step on somethin’ for once. See what it feel like. Must feel good.”
OTP presents the Bay Area Premiere of Aleshea Harris’ multi-award-winning play Is God Is, directed by OTP Co-Artistic Director William Hodgson. After becoming a smash hit Off-Broadway in 2018 and a runaway success in London’s West End, this contemporary epic is finally making its Bay Area debut.
After receiving a letter from a mother they believed was dead, 21-year-old twins Racine and Anaia embark on an odyssey from the Northeast to the Dirty South to The Valley, on a mission to avenge their past. Harris weaves “the ancient, the modern, the tragic, the Spaghetti Western, hip-hop and Afropunk” (Relentless Award, 2016) in an unforgettable tale of two women seeing justice—and taking control their own narratives.
