The play is a collaborative effort with Heard Your Cry Limited and Ardenne Preparatory School & Extension High School as a charity benefit event. Performances will take place at Johnny’s Place on May 25th and 26th at 7 pm.

According to the producers, Kin Teet! JamRock Sweet is a vibrant play celebrating our Jamaican culture. It is holistically Jamaican and it elucidates the beauty, depth, and spirit of our heritage.

Half of the proceeds will be donated to Heard Your Cry Limited to support their mission of feeding the homeless.

Diana Williams, CEO of Heard Your Cry, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership after watching a previous staging of the play. “The reason that this play was chosen is because I’ve watched different types of Jamaican plays over the years and this far is one of the best. I laughed so hard and I know that persons who come in support will definitely get their money’s worth,” she stated.

She added that the entire experience was “really good.”

Additionally, proceeds will benefit Ardenne Preparatory School & Extension High School’s Staff Development Fund, aiding in the betterment of their employees.

What Type of Play is “Kin Teet! Jamrock Sweet”?

This play showcases the authentic Jamaican experience, highlighting the humour and deeper messages within Jamaican popular culture and meme-worthy events. Despite the challenges faced by Jamaican society, the unique humour of the Jamaican people shines through.

Kin Teet! JamRock Sweet captures this essence by offering a satirical social commentary that will leave audiences both laughing and reflecting.

Supporting the play will not only benefit the actors who have given their time, efforts and talents to entertain but will assist in giving back to the needy and assist the educators at Ardenne. It is for Jamaicans by Jamaicans at JMD 3500 per ticket.
