Black and Indigenous actors don white face to play varoius roles. Lots of challenges for student actors. Would probably need to hire at least one professional. All the male roles are double and triple cast.

Give It Up
Yolanda and Adanma are young female resistance fighters who find themselves sharing the same jail cell in the final years of Angola's civil war. During that decades-long conflict, underage girls often would be forcibly kidnapped and married to UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola) militants. Rather than submit to that fate, Yolanda & Adanma have become "Sarahs", members of an all-female rebel movement led by a charismatic leader with whom both Yolanda & Adanma are in love and whom they are now in danger of betraying as a result of their imprisonment and torture.
