“Pass Over” is a powerful and thought-provoking play written by Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu. The story is set on a city street corner where two young black men, Moses and Kitch, are stuck, dreaming of a life beyond the oppressive reality they face every day. They yearn for the freedom that they believe exists just beyond the horizon, but they are constantly held back by the systemic racism that surrounds them.

As they wait for their chance to “pass over” to a better life, they are confronted by a white man who claims to be there to help them. But as the play progresses, it becomes clear that this stranger is not what he seems, and his presence only serves to deepen the sense of hopelessness and despair that Moses and Kitch feel.

“Pass Over” is a searing examination of the struggle for equality and justice in America, and the toll that systemic racism takes on those who are forced to live with it every day. With a powerful and poetic script, and a cast of deeply nuanced and compelling characters, “Pass Over” is a play that will challenge and inspire audiences to think deeply about the world we live in, and the changes that we need to make if we are ever to truly achieve true justice and freedom for all.
