Tek Weh Yuhself, the play that opened in March at Hostos Community College in The Bronx, New York, resumes its run on May 26 in Boston, Massachusetts.

The romantic comedy is written by Devon Morgan, a Jamaican based in the United Kingdom. It stars Deon Silvera, Stede Flash, Dainty Belinfantie, Leon Parkins and Kathy Grant.

Tek Weh Yuhself plays at Roxbury Community College as part of Memorial Day activities. The following day, the play is at Barnstable High School in Cape Cod, Maine and on May 28 shows at Weaver High School in Hartford, Connecticut.

On June 3, it is at Wexford Terrace in Queens, New York. Tek Weh Yuhself moves to Meyer Levin High School in Brooklyn on June 10 before closing on July 9 at High Point High School in Beltsville, Maryland.

Flash, known as Jookie Jam, plays Jonathan. He spoke to OBSERVER ONLINE about the play’s progress to date.

“We have performed at some of these locations before with other productions, but Cape Cod and Boston is the first time for me. The response at different venues varies; some (people) scream, shout and laugh more while at some venues the audience applaud but totally enjoy themselves,” he said. “The chemistry with the cast is amazing, we coordinate so effortlessly.”

Tek Weh Yuhself is promoted by Having PURPOSE, a non-non-profit organisation founded by Jamaican Christeen Francis in 2015.

Proceeds from the shows will pay for the shipping of 300 desks and chairs for students in St Catherine.

Through correspondence with past students associations in the United States, Having PURPOSE has donated computers and other digital apparatus to several schools in Jamaica including Cornwall College, Clarendon College and Munro College.

Francis and her team raises funds from events such as Jamaica Farewell, the long-running one-woman play by Jamaican actress/writer Debra Ehrhardt. They have also staged shows featuring top reggae acts like Jamaicans Eric Donaldson, Half Pint, Pam Hall and St Lucian Taj Weekes.
