Little Bit of Paradise is play about women who make choices in a world without many options. It’s a play about coincidence and the magic that happens around moments. It’s a play about defining family to countless individuals of the African Diaspora who haven’t of knowing where their lineage begins. And its a play about masks, how we wear them, when we wear them, and why we wear them.
