Head of the Speech and Theatre Arts Department of Grambling State University (USA), Dr King David Godwin, will be on island this weekend for the staging of the Nazarene Drama Team’s fourth production, Power Struggle.

Writer and director of the play, Collin Jno-Finn, a student at GSU pursuing mass communication and theatre arts, said the production is part of his theatre degree internship and so he opted to host Dr Godwin here in Antigua so he can have a firsthand look at the production.  

“Dr Godwin hails from Monroe, Louisiana, where GSU is located, and I thought it necessary to provide a Caribbean view of our theatre to Dr Godwin, since the theoretical and American view of theatre may differ based on varying situations and or tools," said Jno-Finn. “I am hoping that he will be able to garner information from the theatre fraternity so that there might be a possibility of providing him with a broader reality of theatre from a Caribbean perspective.”

In a press release from the Nazarene Drama Team, Dr Godwin said, “I am always eager to engage in activities that seek to educate the minds and hearts of individuals to the wonders of the arts." He said he is looking forward to being in Antigua and working along with drama groups to impart knowledge and thereby strengthening the arts.

Jno-Finn meanwhile expressed many thanks to Gilbert Laudat of the Department of Culture and Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer, who came forward to support this venture. He also thanked LIME and the other contributors for supporting the production.

Power Struggle is Jno-Finn’s fourth play, and earned him an A last semester as part of his playwriting course. He has also written On the Block, Nine to Five, and It's Too Late.

Power Struggle tells the story of a young pastor facing expulsion from the church board, since seasoned board members have raised concerns about his inappropriate leadership. The pastor’s quest for a second term in office has met strong resistance from a powerful female member, who will stop at nothing to overthrow the young contemporary leader. The brilliant pastor, recognising that his dynasty is about to topple, must strategize to conquer one of his greatest battle. 

The politicking strife among the warring factions escalates to boiling point, and threatens to wreck the stability of the organisation. 

Power Struggle unfolds at the Dean William Lake Cultural Centre this weekend, Saturday June 25 and Sunday June 26 at 8 pm and 7 pm, respectively. Admission is $20.
