6/26/2014

Isn't he handsome?

Oh, Dave. All the ladies in DISTRICTLAND know Dave.

Our Dave (Johnny Day) is the resident unemployed Georgetown Law grad and online dating expert -- Tindr is his specialty.

Dave intends to run for office one day in DC. Starting the Progressive Leadership Network with his Yale classmate Katherine (Andra Belknap) is all part of his plan for world domination.

The actor behind Dave, Johnny Day, is a DC-based actor and graduate of James Madison University, where he studied English and Criminal Justice. He performed at this Fall's Fringe Festival as Will in The Immortal Jellyfish. You might catch him on AMC's Turn, and the upcoming feature film The Whyte Album.

Frank (Andrew Quilpa) is the intern. DISTRICTLAND would be nothing without its interns!

Frank just graduated from Georgetown and before he starts his PhD in Political Science, he's interning in his Minnesota Congressman's office. Frank is desperately in love with the lone DC native, A'isha, who he sees every day on his way to work.

The actor who brings Frank to life, Andrew Quilpa studied acting at the University of Virginia, graduating with a BA in Psychology and minor in Drama. In 2011, Andrew moved to Districtland as an Americorps member at Byte Back, a non profit dedicated to bridging the digital divide. He has served as an Inclusion Facilitator at Imagination Stage children's theatre in Bethesda for nearly 2 years, fostering love of the performing arts to children of all ages. Recent credits include: Lieutenant Alphonso of the Bellboys in The American Century Theater's production of Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad and Dogberry in The Fat & Greasy Citizens Brigade's production of Much Ado About Nothing (June 2014)

Play Synopsis: Igbo class is a safe space for Black students at Texas Light University. When that class becomes the backdrop of a viral video of an intense argument between Faith, a Black American Senior and Uchenna, a Nigerian American graduate student, the divide between the African community and the Black American community on campus is pushed to the forefront. In order to alleviate her campus' issues, Dean Thompson assigns Faith and Uchenna a mandatory project that will seek to connect the members of the Black community... if only they can put aside their differences long enough to create it. In this funny, ensemble-driven love story, We Both Suck Our Teeth explores the division and unity within the African diaspora.
