THE REFUGE PLAYS are not just a #refuge for the characters. These magical woods have given me so much #peace. They challenge me, cut me open, and then turn right around and heal me every night. Thankyou to God and My Ancestors for their constant interference, intervening, protection, and guidance. I will always Go to The #Water, Listen to The #Wind, and Follow the Song of the #River. (IYKYK) Thankyou to #NathanAlanDavis & @patriciamcgregor for knowing, I belong in these woods. #GailLikeTheWind 🌬️🌳🌊🕯️ #ActressLife #Gail #JessicaFrancesDukes #TheRefugePlays @roundaboutnyc @nytw79 #roundabouttheatrecompany #newyorktheatreworkshop #Getyourtickets #Seeyalsoon #Photographer @lelunddurond #makeupartist @savvystarbeauty #Hair @jtouch
And Just Like That…. #TheRefugePlays “Late at night, deep in the woods of southern Illinois, a ghost tells Gail she will die within the next 24 hours. So begins The Refuge Plays, an epic tale that follows one Black family over 70 years. Written by #NathanAlanDavis, this bold reimagining of an American “family play” is full of humor, heart and surprises. #PatriciaMcGregor @patriciamcgregor directs.” @roundaboutnyc produced in association with @nytw79. #THISCAST #LESGOOO #BACKTOTHESTAGE #roundabouttheatre #newyorktheatreworkshop #familyfirst #familyovereverything #comeonethejourneywithus #staytuned

“Before every show, Parker and Dukes apply their old-age make-up together, and it’s allowed them to create a bond that extends to their onstage characters. “We both get in there early and we’re putting our lines on and literally drawing in our age on our face and our hands,” says Dukes. Then Parker chimes in, “There’s a reverence there too. Women, we’re not allowed to age and everybody’s freaking out if you have a smile line, or whatever. But there’s so much love and reverence in this transformation for both of us.” @dieptimes @playbill #Playbill #TheRefugePlays #NicoleAriParker #JessicaFrancesDukes #TeamRefuge You have three weeks to catch us!#roundabouttheatrecompany #newyorktheatreworkshop #laurapelstheatre

#MondayMemories So thankful to be back in a rehearsal room working on #TheRefugePlays !! My Heart is overflowing and I’m ready to pour it out into this piece. This career has not been easy. It has not been luck. It’s been YEEEAARRSS of sheer determination, training, fearless risk taking, sacrifice, a damn good circle, family, great colleagues, THE LOVE FOR THIS CRAFT (cause you gotta, YOU HAVE TO LOVE IT) and GOD. It has not been linear. It’s been a whirlwind around the country, city to city, and now country to country, ALL FOR THE ART! ALL BECAUSE CREATING IS WHAT I WAS PUT ON THIS EARTH TO DO! ALL BECAUSE THIS IS MY PASSION! #Reminiscing #Reflecting #Processing #Thankful #Grateful #Blessed #Actress #Artist #Storyteller #Entertainer #TheatreMaker #Beeninthis #TheatreMajor #MastersinFineArts #WeDifferent
