Written and Directed by Jaiie Dayo Aliya
October 19 - November 4, 2023
Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) presents the highly anticipated World Premiere of Our Lady of Common Sorrows by Jaiie Dayo Aliya. The play was a huge hit with audiences when it was presented in CPT's Test Flight 2023<https://www.cptonline.org/test-flight/>, an annual developmental program for writers of all levels.  Based on its successful performance during the initial 3-day run in Test Flight last January, Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan felt it was ready for a full run.

About the Play
The play focuses on Indigo, a 15-year-old honor student who plays saxophone in the school band. Her mother, aunt and neighbors have their own theories about who got her pregnant, but according to the "psychic" customer of her aunt's drug-dealing boyfriend, she is going to give birth to the next messiah.
Featuring: Dar'Jon Bentley, Isaiah Betts, Cristal Christian, Lashawn Little, Royce The Voice Ruffin, Amy Spencer, Kynnedy, Ashley Aquilla.
