By Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu
In PASS OVER, Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu’s “powerful and provocative” (Arifa Akbar, The Guardian) new play, Moses and Kitch talk smack, pass the time, and hope that maybe today will be different. As they dream of their promised land, a stranger wanders into their space and disrupts their plans. Evoking heartbreak, hope, and joy over its 85 minutes, PASS OVER crafts everyday profanities into poetic and humorous riffs, illuminating the unquestionable human spirit of young men looking for a way out.

Covid Information
Guests will need to be fully vaccinated with an FDA or WHO authorized vaccine in order to attend PASS OVER and must show proof of vaccination at their time of entry into the theatre with their valid ticket. “Fully vaccinated” means the performance date you are attending must be:
- at least 14 days after your second dose of an FDA or WHO authorized two dose COVID-19 vaccine, or
- at least 14 days after your single dose of an FDA or WHO authorized single dose COVID-19 vaccine.
The only exception to the above will be for guests under the age of 12, or those who need reasonable accommodations due to a medical condition or sincerely held religious belief that prevents vaccination.

Proof of vaccination (or negative test for guests under the age of 12 and those seeking reasonable accommodations due to a medical condition or sincerely held religious belief) must come directly from the healthcare provider that performed the vaccination (or test for guests under the age of 12 and those seeking reasonable accommodations due to a medical condition or sincerely held religious belief). Guests can present proof via an official governmental mobile app or website containing vaccination or testing information, or a photo or physical copy of a vaccination card or test result. New York State residents, or anyone who received a COVID-19 vaccine, or was administered a COVID-19 test, in New York State may present proof through the use of the Excelsior Pass (for more details, visit: https://epass.ny.gov).
In addition to providing proof of vaccination (or negative test result, as applicable) in accordance with these protocols, all guests must present a government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license or passport (guests younger than 18 may present a school photo ID).

August Wilson Theatre
In 1943, the building was leased to WOR-Mutual Radio as a studio. The American National Theater and Academy purchased it in 1950 and renamed it the ANTA Theatre. In 1981, the theatre was purchased by Jujamcyn Theaters and named the Virginia Theatre for owner and Jujamcyn Board member Virginia McKnight Binger. On October 16, 2005, fourteen days after American playwright August Wilson’s death, the theatre was renamed in his honor.
