Hear a reading of “Leaving Jamaica,” a short play featured in the esteemed City Theatre Miami Homegrown Playwright program. Following the reading experience a thought-provoking dialogue exploring the themes of departure, belonging, and the complex interplay between what we leave behind and what we carry with us to our new homes.
