Tad in 5th City - Backstage

Plays are like snapshots in time – holding the energy of an era, the weight of history, or the uncertainty of the future for a preadolescent Black boy, as is the case with “Tad in 5th City.” 

Orron Kenyetta’s deeply autobiographical “Tad Poems” were adapted into the play “Tad in 5th City,” riding the wave of collaboration between him and Carla Stillwell that is still cresting. In this Backstage offering preadolescent boy meets the measure of himself as a man. Join Orron, Carla, and select cast members as they revisit the multiple stagings of this stellar production.
