HAPPINESS FOR SURVIVAL APPRECIATES YOU!!

Updated April 20, 2016

Happiness for Survival is a stage play that digs deep and examines our choices and decisions. It’s a journey…an emotional, spiritual and physical journey about life and its challenges, the ups and the downs, the successes and the failures.  It’s about dreams and why we will or won’t, do or don’t go after them and equally as important, it’s about sisterhood. It’s about the weight and true value of friendship. This thought provoking play will touch you. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will ultimately have you looking within, asking yourself “AM I A GOOD FRIEND?”

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!




Check out our HFS PROMO VIDEO!! More to come! Enjoy!

After a proud showing in June of 2015 & February 2016, we are back to business as usual but this time with a twist. What's the twist? The twist is this time we will showcase 3 extremely talented students from Mervo High School as a part of the HFS cast and we couldn't be more thrilled. The gifts that these young ladies possess are undeniable. They are hands down hilarious, wonderfully entertaining and captivating!

That said, meet CORI, MATTY & JO...AVA's over the top, unprofessional co-workers!!

RACHEL BROWN as JO
Rachel Brown is JO-friend and co-worker of Matty & Cori-Likes to stay under the radar, doesn’t ever pick a side really. Will sometimes join in to poke fun and stir up the pot. She's what you call "a natural". She's talented, endearing and she draws you in. She is such a dedicated, hard worker at her craft and an all around pleasure to work with. It is definitely HFS's gain having her as a part of the cast!

NAYONNA HERBERT AS MATTY

Nayonna Herbert is MATTY-Friend and co-worker of Jo & Cori-Likes to give Cori a hard time & put her on blast but all in fun. She has the voice of an angel. You will remember her name! In fact, she will soon be auditioning for The Voice, an American reality television singing competition broadcast on NBC. We wish her all the best and I know she has exactly what it takes to knock those judges socks off and turn those chairs around! Let's Go Nayonna!

TIONNA CHAR'DAE POWELL as CORI
Tionna Char'dae Powell is CORI-an in your face, overbearing, unprofessional, friend and co-worker of Jo & Matty. I couldn't be more thrilled to have her as part of the cast. She's not new to the stage at all. Tionna has acted on many stages like The Arena Players and has recently auditioned for Orange Is the New Black ! She's a bold talent with drive, ambition and fearlessness. This young lady is going places!


As for the other 4 cast members...WE'RE BACK!! and better than before as if that was possible! Lol

AZYA MAXTON as GIA
Azya Maxton is a seasoned professional actress and a comedic powerhouse in HFS. She's also a spoken word poet and song writer. You will not forget how your abs ached wonderfully from laughing hysterically at her thrilling performance.
JADE MADDEN AS SHAUNA
Jade Madden is a dynamic actress and a pleasure to watch and she is also HFS's resident songbird. She is a proud Morgan State University alumnae member of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity Incorporated. Stay ready... 

CHANNING B. NASH as STEPHANIE
Channing B. Nash is a gifted actress and singer with enormous emotional range that reaches far, grabs a hold of you and never lets you go! A creative visionary that will stop at nothing to bring about healing and positive change through the arts!

MAHOGHANY AYOT EERISED as AVA
Mahoghany Ayot Eerised is the Director/Writer/Producer/Actress of Happiness For Survival and is a hands down dreamer. She will take you on an emotional journey of truth, faith, compassion and understanding.

FYI-AVA, SHAUNA, STEPHANIE & GIA are best friends that will see each other through the highs and lows called life. You will laugh, cry, sing and dance in your seat. You won't want to miss it!
