Abdul Sesay & Jessica Johnson
InterAct
Theatre Company,
located at the Proscenium Theatre at the Drake . 302 S. Hicks
Street, is presenting the World Premier of Stepmom, Stepmom, Stepmom
through February 18, 2024. Known for its commitment to diversity and promotion of dialogue on societal issues, InterAct
does not disappoint in producing this play. Kaila, (Jessica Johnson) is a Black woman unsatisfied
with the sex-life in her marriage. She wants her husband Louis ( Scott R. Sheppard) to be rough and hit her. Louis , a
white male, has lived his life respecting
women and can’t imagine the optics of his raising a hand to his wife. Kaila fantasizes
about what her life would be like with her very good-looking ex. After hearing some
of her fantasies which were accidentally recorded on his laptop, Louis begins
to wonder if perhaps he might be able to accommodate his wife and still stay
true to himself. Abdul Sesay is very convincing as Kaila’s ex-boyfriend, Marc.
Donovan Locket does an excellent job of portraying Tichelle, Kaila’s best friend, who tries to get Kaila to determine
what she really wants in life. InterAct hosts discussions for audience members
almost every day of the week after the show. For tickets and show times, visit https://www.interacttheatre.org/step-mom-step-mom-step-mom.
