In this moving new play produced by Syracuse Stage, it was a delight for Jeremiah to embody the role of Malcolm (A.K.A. Malik) ; a quick-tempered yet charming high-school junior who wants to be a Blues musician. While he is considered a bit of an 'old head' and exhibits wisdom beyond his years, he's having a hard time dealing with his parents’ broken relationship and feels at a crossroads in life, stuck between pursuing his music or going off to college per his mom's wishes.

So, how can a fractured family heal when unresolved emotions of the past color the present? How can a city reshape itself if it means tearing open old, still-tender wounds?
