ONE LOW PRICE TO SEE THEM BOTH!
THE MIGRATION LP
BY KEENAN SCOTT II
November 11-15, 2026
NSU Brown Hall Mainstage Theater
Broadway playwright Keenan Scott II, the same playwright whose Thoughts of a Colored Man captivated our audiences in 2023 and earned NSU Theatre Company more than 20 National Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival awards, returns to NSU with this moving world premiere of The Migration LP. This compelling family drama traces one patriarch’s decision across a century of lineage, exploring ambition, identity, abandonment, and the enduring search for belonging. Be the first in the world to witness this amazing production before it moves on to national stages!
** The Migration LP contains very strong adult language and situations. Children 11 & under are not recommended. **
