Terrence Riggins and Cheyenne Barboza sit down to explore the heart of Unbecoming Tragedy — a play born from personal history, imagination, and the deep belief in empathy. In this behind-the-scenes conversation, they discuss how storytelling challenges assumptions, bridges lived experiences, and pushes against forces that seek to divide. For both artists, theatre is not just a medium but a lifeline — a space where truth unfolds and transformation begins.
