“YOU GOT TO TAKE A LIKKLE BIT OF SUFFERIN' TO GET THAT HOPE.” 

A day of dreams, drama, and a whole lot of Jamaican spice!

"Get That Hope" is a bittersweet drama that explores the complexities of family, culture, and the immigrant experience. It's a story filled with laughter, tears, and a whole lot of Jamaican flavor. Get ready for a powerful and moving experience that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
