A STAGED READING EVENT

Thursday, April 9th, 2026 

7:30 – 9:30 pm

LASTING a full-length play by Angeline Larimer and Abdul-Khaliq Murtadha 

based on the oral histories of Donald Fuller, and writings by Sidney Fuller

Produced by Propel New Works, Indiana University Indianapolis Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, and the IU Conscience Project

Set within the shifting terrain of Donald Ray’s deeply personal and interwoven thoughts, the story follows his return to the memories of his older brothers Michael and Bubby who appear to him exactly as they were the last time he saw them. To find his way back to peace, Donald Ray must navigate a minefield of recollections where the ache of loss and joys of brotherhood collide.

Drawn from personal history and lived experience, the story of Lasting traces the emotional complexity of growing up Black in a small Midwestern town in late 20th‑century America. At its heart, this is the story of three brothers: Donald Ray, Michael, and Bubby, who learn to transform a landscape marked by painful memories into one of healing, connection, and enduring love.

Inspired by real events.
