You may have seen the hintsā€¦
Now itā€™s time to make things official!

5th Wall Theatre is thrilled to be collaborating with New Light Theater Project on the development of STORIES TO TELL AT THE END OF THE WORLD, a new solo play by Gina Femia.

Co-directed by Tabatha Gayle and our own Kaitlin Paige Longoria, featuring Kleo Mitrokostas, with dramaturgy by Kendall Walker, this new work weaves together three interconnected stories spanning 150 yearsā€”exploring memory, loss, environmental change, and what survives across generations.

We are deeply honored to be partnered with on this developmental piece and to continue championing adventurous new works that ask urgent questions about humanity, home, and connection.

Meet the revolutionaries behind TAMBO & BONES! šŸŽ¤

5th Wall Theatre and Blk Virginia Theatre Alliance are thrilled to announce the cast and creative team of TAMBO & BONES by Dave Harris!

Sharp, explosive, and wildly theatrical, Tambo & Bones is a genre-defying satire that tears through Americaā€™s past, present, and future with biting humor, music, and raw theatricality. What begins as a minstrel show spirals into an electrifying examination of race, performance, power, and the cost of being seen.

Join us as Tambo & Bones takes the stage June 25 - July 25, 2026.

ABOUT THE PLAY:

Tambo and Bones are stuck in a minstrel show or maybe theyā€™re headlining the hottest rap concert of the century. Either way, theyā€™re done playing by the rules. What starts with satirical sketches morphs into a hip hop fueled rebellion that rips through American history and launches into a mind bending Afrofuturist vision of the future.

Tambo & Bones is a riotous, razor sharp thrill ride that crashes comedy into revolution and dares you to keep up.
