the night we rode

a play by Mercedes Loving-Manley

My stageplay directorial debut the night we rode is an intimate reimagining of the night Teddy Pendergrass and Tenika Watson got into a car accident that would potentially alter Teddy’s life as a performer forever. While on the way home from a nightclub in Philly, Teddy and Tenika talk about politics, fantasy and what life means for both of them. 

Collaboration is a core element of my work. During my residency, I look forward to sharing space with other artists, centralizing collaboration efforts through regular workshopping and contracting cast and crew.

I am seeking cast members and crew to help bring this story to life. If you or someone you know would like to participate in this artistic journey, click here.
