Beau­ti­ful, en­chant­i­ng, pas­sion­ate, ex­ot­ic. These are some words that de­scribe the eclec­tic mix of women in­dige­nous to the Caribbean, but they are just a few of the words that come to mind when re­fer­ring to Sul­li­van Walk­er's new play Caribbean Woman. This Trinidad-born Hol­ly­wood ac­tor has re­turned home to take the lo­cal act­ing in­dus­try by the reigns and help send our mes­sage to the world. A mes­sage which bold­ly states that, "We do ex­ist! We are not just a rock in the ocean and there is no rea­son that the world should not know us by name!"

Af­ter mak­ing a name for him­self abroad, Walk­er has re­turned home to make an im­pact by us­ing his valu­able ex­pe­ri­ences to our ben­e­fit. Tru­ly a re­nais­sance man, Walk­er, has out­done him­self this time by writ­ing, di­rect­ing and pro­duc­ing this show al­most sin­gle hand­ed­ly. In­spired by the Broad­way hit For Coloured Girls, Walk­er has put his pen to pa­per; which when com­bined with his deep, in­her­ent love for his home­land re­sult­ed in a mag­nif­i­cent se­ries of po­ems, short sto­ries, skits and mono­logues that pay homage to our moth­ers, daugh­ters, sis­ters and friends.

This show has every el­e­ment need­ed to cre­ate a night of pure en­ter­tain­ment. The writer has touched on a wide range of top­ics which will make you laugh and cry but most im­por­tant­ly pro­voke thought as his tal­ent­ed en­sem­ble of ac­tors take to the stage to re­flect our essence as peo­ple of the Caribbean. But, do not be fooled by the name, this pro­duc­tion is not just about the ladies but hu­man­i­ty as a whole. With sub­jects such as re­la­tion­ships, po­lit­i­cal is­sues, vi­o­lence and love any­one can re­late on an emo­tion­al lev­el while laugh­ing hearti­ly at the de­li­cious dos­es of unadul­ter­at­ed com­e­dy. The cast of Caribbean Woman in­cludes tal­ents such as De­siree Boatswain, Jo­han­nah Walk­er, Car­ol Mark, Ari Geis­er, Van­na Girod, Gi­na Par­ris, Sap­phire Samuel, Aaliyah John­son, Tame­ka John­son, Khadi­ja Glas­gow, Re­bec­ca Fos­ter, Joel Gilbert, Dil­lon Jimenez, Natasha Si­mon, April Daniel, Nia-Kirelle As­son and Randy De Ganges.
