Mia McCullough’s Since Africa , performed by The Red Fern Theatre Company, utilizes a foreign perspective to offer new light on the nature of disconnecting and resolution in 21st century America. The plot centers on Ater Dhal (Matthew Murumba) , a “lost boy” of the Sudan, as he assimilates into American culture with the aid of pastor Reggie Hudson (Elton Beckett) and a wealthy volunteer Diane MacIntyre (Jennifer Dorr White) whose husband died recently on a trip to Africa.
