Covenant April 7 – May 2, 2027 at Portland Center Stage April 7, 2027 - May 2, 2027

Covenant By York Walker Directed by Tinashe Kajese-Bolden In partnership with Alliance Theatre Described as “a striking Southern Gothic work” (The New York Times), Covenant is a haunting new play that pushes the boundaries between myth and reality. Avery is desperate for a way out of her small Georgia town. When her childhood friend Johnny returns after making a name for himself as a blues star, Avery may have found her chance. But Johnny’s sudden fame leads to gossip that he made a deal with the devil to attain his newfound musical genius, and before long it becomes clear that he’s not the only one in town with a secret. A suspense-filled thriller that delivers one devilish twist after another, Covenant explores the gripping power of belief and the thin veil between rumor and truth.
