About the Show

Company Cypher presents the world premiere of a drama about the community of New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward as it struggles to survive in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Three years after Hurricane Katrina, the wounds of New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward continue to fester. While the rest of the country's attention drifts, fourteen-year-old runaway Kali is forced to pick through the wreckage of what used to be her life. Rhyming, stealing, and scamming her way through the neighborhood, she grapples with the real cost of what she lost and the even higher cost of moving forward.
