WITS is a musical that explores the anxieties of two groups of Black folks at the cusp of adulthood, segregated from one another along class lines. As their disquiet reaches a fever pitch brought on by their encounters with racial subjugation and classism, they are offered an escape from the crippling limitations of society: an opportunity to travel the stars with an extraterrestrial being. This dynamic, dance-driven narrative invites audiences to bear witness to a depth of soul and spirit that characterizes so many Black people in vibrant communities of color. The fears, hopes, and dreams of these young Black artists soar through an infectious, otherworldly pop score, revealing a tomorrow of possibility and promise, their futures written in the stars.
