Synopsis

 

Selena's doctor tells her that she's HIV positive, but Selena is certain that's impossible. What she doesn't know is that her husband, Malik, has been "on the down-low," experimenting with gay sex and not taking precautions. Selena tries to escape into the fantasy world of a church drama about AIDS and faith in her church, and her husband fights to maintain his own standing in the community. Both are tested morally and spiritually as their lives unravel.

 

Phill Wilson of the Black AIDS Institute inspired this project with his passion for finding creative ways to reach African-American clergy, provoking reflection on the effects of HIV/AIDS on their communities. The production features Selena's play-within-a-play commenting on the action and a number of gospel tunes.
