Aina Theatre Company, a new theater company founded by artists of color, will world premiere White Lilies, a new psychological two-hander written and directed by Rush Z, at the 2026 Hollywood Fringe Festival. Performances begin June 11, 2026 at Upstairs @ El Centro.

On the anniversary of their mother's death, two brothers find themselves alone together for the first time in years. Mike (JC Best) is a sociologist who deals in facts, patterns, and proof. Shawn (André Cazenave) is a playwright who lives in what cannot be explained. What begins as an argument about parenting and control unravels into something far more unsettling when Shawn reveals he witnessed something impossible - a chair levitating in his room. As their reality begins to fracture, the question becomes: how do you love someone whose truth you cannot accept? Think Manchester by the Sea meets The Twilight Zone.

Aina Theatre Company was founded with a singular mission: to center stories by and about people of color - and to tell them in a way that speaks to audiences of all backgrounds. White Lilies is the company's inaugural production.

The production features JC Best as Mike and André Cazenave as Shawn, with an original score by Sashi Poola.

Performances will take place on June 11, 2026 - 9:00 PM; June 13, 2026 - 6:00 PM; June 19, 2026 - 5:45 PM; June 21, 2026 - 1:15 PM; June 26, 2026 - 6:15 PM; and June 28, 2026 - 5:45 PM.
