In post-9/11 Newark, two teenagers who were brought to America as children become each other’s sanctuary. When one gets naturalized, they hatch a plan for the other to stay. But time moves fast, and plans fracture.

We’re producing Martyna Majok’s powerful play this May—and we want YOU in the room.

So…why “Little Branch”? It’s the question we have been asked often.

We’re Amela & Jovani, the artistic directors of Little Branch, a theater company. In Part One of our sit-down conversation, we open up about why Little Branch exists and why now felt like the right time. Part 2 comes your way Thursday! Can’t wait to share more.

Thank you to everyone who made Honey Brown Eyes by Stefanie Zadravec a moment to savor and be proud of—cast, crew, audiences, families, and friends. This was a true collaboration, with every choice shaped by many hands.

We learned so much along the way and look forward to growing with you. One of our greatest joys was welcoming so many first-time theatergoers—it’s about more than a play; it’s about building a community.

Thank you for being part of Little Branch’s very first production.
We’re not sure what’s next yet—but when we know, you’ll be the first to hear. Tune In!
