WHO’S WHO CARLETON BLUFORD* (Youth) has performed at Salt Lake Acting Company, Plan B Theatre Company, Pioneer Theatre Company, Hale Centre Theater Orem and West Valley, The Jackson Hole Playhouse, Moonlight Amphitheater, and Musical Theater West. As a singer, he has sung with Luther Vandross, Natalie Cole, and Kristin Chenoweth and was invited to sing for the Mayor of Long Beach. He is the first African American playwright to ever have a world premiere of his play, Mama!, in the state of Utah which was performed at Plan B Theatre Company who also produced his new play, The Clean-Up Project in February of 2022. He is ecstatic to be playing Youth in Passing Strange with this amazing family of a cast and crew. It is quite literally a dream come true. LATOYA CAMERON* (Ensemble) cannot express how thrilled she is to be a part of this production! This show has significantly changed her life. To say it is a dream show is making light of how this story has forever impacted her.

You might have seen her last in SLAC’s world premiere production of Four Women Talking About the Man Under the Sheet. Other SLAC productions: Egress (Reading - New Play Sounding
