Masked: The Musical by Tianna Davis
June 2, 2024
Straight off The Book of Mormon national tour, writer and performer Tianna Davis is proud to present a concert version of her original work, Masked: The Musical here at 54 Below! Recently shown at the Black Writers Showcase, Masked is a vibrant musical where cultures collide and love conquers all. We follow the heartwarming story of Ava, a strong-willed Caribbean girl, and Avi, a rebellious yet charming Indian boy, navigating the highs and lows of young love in an elite private high school. Set against the backdrop of cultural expectations, they must defy societal norms and stereotypes to find acceptance and understanding. There is no box that is too small. This new original work puts a kaleidoscope on how diversity, resilience, and love transcends boundaries.
Follow along with them on their journey through this new musical with direction by Michelle Ray [she/ her] (The Book of Mormon national tour) and featuring a multi-talented cast, including Kristen Amanda Smith (Mean Girls) and many more!
