Up Early! LoveBabz LoveTalk Welcomes Cheyenne Barboza

Written by August Wilson Directed by Cheyenne Barboza Set in 1904 Pittsburgh, Gem of the Ocean begins at the home of Aunt Ester, a 285-year-old spiritual healer and former slave believed to carry the memory of the African diaspora. When Citizen Barlow, a newcomer from the South, arrives haunted by guilt, Aunt Ester sends him on a spiritual journey to the mythical City of Bones to confront his past and ancestry. As the community wrestles with protest, injustice, and the cost of resistance, Citizen must choose the legacy he’ll carry forward. The first in The American Century Cycle, Gem of the Ocean is a lyrical story of reckoning and the path to freedom.
