An HTD Multimedia Production
Your story, your way
Join Nyla’s brave odyssey home to self against the beasts of beverage bias, heteronormativity, and what can only be describe as monstrous “man trauma”. With her trickster spirit guides Peps! and Cola, will Nyla navigate through the blurs of time and space to embrace her full identity and the land of J’ouvert joy or be stuck in the cycles which have contained her.
What is multimedia production?
Why limit ourselves to a single form of storytelling?
HTD Productions brings your story, your way transforming traditional story-telling silos into multidimensional experiences.

The project is developed into a full multimedia experience—including a stage play, documentary, EP, and video game—with support from the Alliance Theatre’s Reiser Atlanta Artists Lab, She ATL, South Fulton Arts and key collaborators.
Phase 3 (2025–2026):
Peps! Cola Bitch launches across mediums with public events, digital releases, and the PCB Conversation Series, supported in part by South Fulton Arts as part of Dalyla’s 2025 CREATE Partnership.

Digging into those ethnographic roots and the PCB team is going to Trinidad! - Dalyla
Conducting field research centered on Trinidad Carnival and J'ouvert offers deep cultural insights that will significantly enhance our productions in Atlanta. This research explores themes of liberation, resilience, and community inherent in these celebrations, which are crucial for authentically representing Black, Queer, Fem, and other intersectionally marginalized identities. By understanding these traditions, we can better connect the spirit of "coming home" to our narratives, ensuring they resonate deeply and inclusively with diverse audiences. This approach supports the development of more impactful and representative productions

Living Room Reading
January 2024 - HTD Productions
I absolutely adore the development journey of PCB, especially the vibrant sense of community it's nurtured—my community, and perhaps soon, our community too!
In January 2024, a cozy corner of my living room transformed into a creative hub. Some of my favorite ATL-based creators and trusted theatre advisors came together for an intimate reading and feedback session. The room was buzzing with fantastic energy, helping to prepare this passion project for its grand debut on stage!
