WALLED LAKE, MI–The Inspired Acting Company is thrilled to announce its upcoming production of “Moon Man Walk,” a magical story about love, family, and the secrets we keep by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, James Ijames.
Moon Man Walk tells the moving story of a young man named Spencer, who is navigating life after the sudden death of his mother. On his journey back to his hometown, Spencer embarks on a deeper exploration of his past, confronting memories, parental absence, and love in unexpected places. This beautifully crafted narrative blends reality and myth to explore themes of grief, love, and self-discovery.

portrayal of Black life, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2022 for his play Fat Ham.
