Canaan, a play by Micah Ariel Watson
Canaan, written by award-winning Wichita, Kansas native, Micah Ariel Watson, tells the coming-of-age story of a teenager and his community, caught between love, activism, and spirituality during one of the most tumultuous years in American history – 1968. In Canaan, generations collide as Washington, D.C. neighbors must decide where their loyalties lie when the Civil Rights Movement takes a downward turn.
This production represents TKAAM’s effort to elevate unique African American experiences through a variety of mediums and share these unique stories.
The play will be presented at the Lewis and Shirley White Theatre at the Jewish Community Campus on Saturday, September 17 at 7:00 PM and Sunday, September 18 at 2:00 PM.
