After a successful six show run with sold out performances in Ajax and Brampton, the smash hit play “I Need To Know My Father” is back for one more show! And this one is for a good cause. United Achievers Community Services (UACS) has teamed up with Marcia Brown Productions for a benefit performance on September 2nd at the Rose Theatre in Brampton. Proceeds will help UACS continue to offer crucial services for the black community, offering programs that fight violence against women, mentoring to youth and support for the senior members of the Black community.
The UACS team is excited to be working with one of the community’s most sought after playwrights. Joycelet Brown, Executive Director of UACS says, “We want to continue offering our services to the community and we felt a play like I Need to Know My Father is one of the best ways to reach that
community.”
The goals and objectives of the UACS are dear to Marcia’s heart as she believes in empowering her community. While “I Need To Know My Father” is layered with non-stop laughter, audience members will be touched by the profound message behind it.
Celebrating 11 years of producing some of the most electrifying and memorable stage plays in the city, Marcia Brown is thrilled to do an encore presentation of this extra special production. I Need To Know My Father is the first play written by Brown herself, and focuses on the need every child has to know their origin. The play explores the taboo of growing up as an illegitimate child in Jamaica, and of having the audacity to love beyond one’s “class”. Starring all time favorites Naggo Morris, Letna Allen, and Marcia Brown, the play features a sensational performance by upcoming star 14-year-old Kayla McLaughlin as the young “Lisa”. The cast tells this all too familiar story with a passion that reaches far beyond the stage.
Share News says: “The very divine turn of events leaves us wanting more from
this team.”

This seems like a very good production on a very sensitive topic. Congrats to Ms. Brown on writing her first play. I know it’s going to be a smash success!
