Description
When they are forced to confront a devastating secret from the past, a surprise proposal gift puts the future of Genesis and Rashad's relationship at risk. The Light is a 70-minute, real-time rollercoaster ride of laughter, romance and despair that uncovers how the power of radical love can be a healing beacon of light. Leigh Rondon-Davis and Kenny Scott are a couple in real life and these two exceptional actors will perform this play live in their own home!
Run time: 1 hour and 20 minutes, with no intermission
