| A story that confronts the past—and follows it into the present. Opening this week at the Sandrell Rivers Theater, The M Ensemble Company presents Searching for Willie Lynch, a new play written and directed by Layon Gray. Spanning 1930, 1965, and 2008, the production follows three families connected across time—each uncovering pieces of a history that continues to shape their lives. At the center is a question that doesn’t easily resolve: What has been passed down—and what still needs to be understood? Through a theatrical structure that blends realism with a mysterious portal linking generations, the story moves between eras, revealing how division, identity, and inherited narratives echo across decades. Performance Schedule: Opening Night: Thursday, April 9 • 8:00 PM Evenings: April 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 25 • 8:00 PM Matinees: April 12, 19, 25, 26 • 3:00 PM Produced by the M Ensemble Company, one of South Florida’s leading Black theatre institutions, this production continues a legacy of work that engages directly with history, culture, and community. This is a play that invites reflection, conversation, and attention. Now on stage for a limited run. Buy Tickets for Searching for Willie Lynch |
