Alicia Inshiradu is the CEO of Playingod Productions. She is the writer, producer and director of the play ‘What the River Knows'. Alicia Inshiradu developed ‘What The River Knows' - an intergenerational tale of family, romance, murder, racial strife and redemption, set against the backdrop of Wilmington's White Supremacist Massacre of 1898 - as her Master's thesis, a feature-length screenplay. In 2017, she excerpted from her thesis a short teaser film script which she directed, produced and premiered at Cucalorus Film Festival. The reaction was so positive that Inshiradu's executive producers convinced her to adapt the story for the live stage as a gift to the community. The rest is history. The play will show from November 10-13, 2022 at Thalian Hall in Wilmington, NC.
