Jahannes, will be performed September 25, 26, 27 by the Savannah State University by "The Players By The Sea" in Kennedy Auditorium at 7 pm each night. This musical drama is free and open to the public. It has adult situations and adult language.

"Juice" is about sex and sensibilities. Paul, a young attorney diagnosed with AIDS, wrestles with not having sex with his girlfriend Nequa. Paul's sister, Mary Ruth, hits on Paul's friend John, an extremely healthy looking and deceitfully promiscuous counselor. Paul and Nequa's mother Mildred, a Pentecostal evangelist, warns her children about the dangers of promiscuity, though there is some doubt about her own righteousness. Paul's friend Eddie, a very smart pimp and drug dealer, rags on Mike, another friend, who has become a junkie, but Eddie has his own secret.
