The full-length play premiered at Actor’s Express, 887 West Mariette Street NW, Atlanta, Georgia 30318 , November 13-14 2006. 
Synopsis: Chris, a young African American woman, returns from a two year stint volunteering in India to attend the funeral of her childhood friend, Nate. Her dead friend is the stepbrother of Chris’s ex-girlfriend, Max, whom she has not seen since she left. Over the course of three days living in a garage apartment with her brazen cousin Tad, she receives visits from her mother and old friend Kate. These interactions bring up old wounds as well make her face new questions about herself and her place in the world. As she prepares for the funeral Chris must face herself and the choices she has made thus far, including her botched relationship with Max. “The Light in America” addresses questions of race, class and gender through the lens of one young woman’s struggle to find herself in the midst of tragedy. It is ultimately a play about the struggle to see light in the worst of circumstances and the redemptive power of love.
