“Dasquay’s character is Leo, Juan Pratt his character is Rajie, so they’re half-brothers in the story. So those two are trying to navigate through these difficult situations.”

This is the general concept of Bright Light Productions’ highly anticipated stage play “Heart of the Ghetto.” The cinematic stage play is scheduled to premiere at the Atlantis Resort on May 30th and 31st. Founder of Bright Light Productions and director of the play, Jonico Pratt, shares that the play is a reflection of his personal encounters.

“These two, they just trying to find the best ways to make it in terms of which jobs should I pursue, how should I pursue entrepreneurship, and also has a lot of romance like backstabbing girls from the ghetto trying to change their lives but end up messing with these two young men who are on the right path and these girls sort of pulling them the wrong way.”

With a star-studded cast, the play features the extraordinary talents of Shad Fer, Rodericka Collie, Bahamian Trae, and members of the Our News team. One of the country’s leading comedians, Das Quay, will also grace the stage. Pratt adds that the biggest inspiration for the show is his late mother, Antonette Pratt, who passed away in 2017.

“Everything I do is definitely in honor of her. Like even standing in this shop, I took this over when she passed away, and the shop it donates to every project I do, it sponsors every project I do, and once I’m able to see that logo, I know she’s a part of the show.”
