BENEATH RIPPLING WATER is a critically acclaimed three-act solo play performed in 75 minutes and has been nominated for an OVATION AWARD for BEST SOLO PERFORMANCE and for NAACP AWARDS for BEST ACTRESS & BEST PLAYWRIGHT.

Beneath Rippling Water is a completely unrestricted immersion into three tantalizing tales; journeys in, through and out of love; 4 intriguing women and those who inhabit their worlds; a secret peek into the hidden mysteries that lurk beneath the surface of their lives…the “stuff” churning beneath the façade:
Happy Truths and Painful Lies
When Darkness falls, who hears your cries?
When joy erupts who gets the prize?
