The Stage Play is about 6 African American men, (godbrothers), who have
formed a family-like bond over the years and still routinely meet to catch up on life.
Led by “Pops”, who mentored the other men when they were teenagers at a
community center, the men usually gather to cook, sing, and share a unique
brotherhood. Despite difficult pasts, each man is successful in his own right... lawyer,
therapist, music producer, CEO, and plastic surgeon. But when they enter this safe
space as “godguys”, sometimes, the pain of the little boys resurfaces. Their
conversations reveal deep wounds that deal with such topics as abuse, mental health
issues, abandonment, and addiction, topics not often talked about openly in
the African American community, especially among men. The purpose of the play is to
share experiences of African American males that stimulate dialogue and encourage
healing. After 3 sold-out Atlanta shows in October 2023, the show is back by popular
demand with a new cast but the same energy and impact.
