Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea

By Nathan Alan Davis

Directed by Wallace Bridges

Suggested for mature audiences.
When 18-year-old Dontrell Jones decides to voyage into the Atlantic Ocean in search of an ancestor lost during the Middle Passage, his family struggles with the thought of losing its prized son to the waters of a mysterious past. Blending wordplay, humor, and ritual, this rhythmic journey is a present-day hero’s quest to explore the depths we must go to rewrite history’s wrongs.

Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea is sponsored by Dawn Secrist Smith.

The S.I.T. Campaign: Seats in Theatres

The School of Communication, Media & Theatre Arts needs your help to replace all seats in both the Legacy and Sponberg Theatres. We are seeking to raise a minimum of $200,000 between September, 2019 and August, 2020.

You can help us reach our goal by making a gift for individual or multiple seats in one or both theatres. Or you can make a contribution of any size to support this important cause.
