Samuel J and K

Gremlin Theatre
550 Vandalia Street St. Paul

Two brothers from two continents tied together with the same name. A tale of brotherhood, basketball and belonging. Like a lot of brothers, Samuel J & Samuel K spend a lot of time on the basketball court. After a heated game of 1-on-1 to celebrate Samuel K's college graduation, Samuel J gives his adopted brother two roundtrip plane tickets to his birth country in Cameroon. But Samuel K has no desire to face a place and a past that abandoned him. As the two leave their home in suburban Chicago, they find themselves on a transformative journey, forced to navigate a foreign culture and the complexities of brotherhood. Samuel J and K is a compelling, contemporary story about race, identity, home and brotherhood.
