Atlanta Alliance Theatre, The Covenant, October 2025
OCT 8–NOV 9, 2025
The South knows how to keep a secret. Simmering beneath the heat, whispered in church pews, carried in the music of front porches and juke joints. York Walker has written a play that captures both the beauty and terror of that inheritance that swells until rumor feels more powerful than fact. Where the line between gospel and gossip is perilously thin — and once crossed, there is no turning back.
In a 1930s Georgia town, where faith collides with desire, where longing stirs beneath the hymns, and where the smallest spark of suspicion can set a community ablaze is a story of gothic beauty and shadowed menace. But it is also a warning. Because when we stop believing one another, when truth itself becomes negotiable, what remains to hold us together?
What thrills us about this play is not only its Southern Gothic mystery, but its insistence that we reckon with how fear still shapes our communities. That we look at the ways we both protect and police one another. That we ask: What do we sacrifice in the name of belonging? And at what cost to our humanity?
Tonight, we invite you to lean in — to the beauty of the language, the rhythm of the music, and the pulse of a story that refuses to stay buried.

COVENANT PLAYWRIGHT YORK WALKER HOPES AUDIENCES WALK AWAY HAVING SEEN THEMSELVES
STORY BY Mashaun D. Simon
As it is written on the page, Covenant, by York Walker, opens in darkness. Then, a little bit of light breaks through — a flicker and crack of a small flame, until it grows to reveal Ruthie; a young, black girl, in a blue dress, with pockets in the front.
“Everybody got a secret,” are the first words from Ruthie’s mouth.
When Walker sat down to write this play, Ruthie, he said, was the first image he had.
“The idea sort of came to me. She was surrounded in darkness, and had on this period-looking dress,” he said. “And so, I was like, ‘Okay, this is a character, clearly, and it’s going to be about her.’”
Prior to Covenant , he’d written another play that, in his own words, was just basic. It wasn’t bad. And he wouldn’t exactly say that it was boring. It was just very basic, straightforward, inspired by the late, great August Wilson, and set in a house in the ‘60s. After writing that play, he became interested in genre and what it looked like to have Black people and Black queer people show up in different genres. That led him to wonder, what does it look like to have a horror play on stage with Black people in it?
“And not have any white folks in it. And to have none of the horror coming from white people. That, I think, is what makes this play different,” he said. “I was terrified because I wasn’t sure that any of this was going to work. But I think by the time I started working on this play, I was at least brave enough to try to see.”
As he wrote, he remembered the myth of Robert Johnson. Born in Hazelhurst, Mississippi in 1911, Johnson played several juke joints throughout the South, and allegedly only had one hit record, Tarraplane Blues . His music, which included only 29 recorded songs, spoke to the experiences of bitterness and oppression he and other Black sharecroppers and descendants of enslaved Africans faced in the South.
After his wife and child died during birth, the loss is said to have been what pushed him into stardom. The rumor is, Johnson disappeared for roughly 18 months. When he re-emerged, he had a musical ability that could only be due to something supernatural. As a result, many claimed Johnson sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his talents. He later died at the age of 27 from pneumonia caused by poisoning.
The myth, said Walker, lends itself to horror.
“Black folks don’t mess with the devil. We don’t mess with spirits. None of that stuff. All these things work well together in terms of creating a horror play for Black people. I threw them all in the same pot. As I started writing, the characters started to be who they wanted to be without me,” he said. “When I’m writing something, what’s in the back of my mind is who am I and who am I writing this for? I think about Toni Morrison and the conversations she would have about the white gaze and feeling like when she was reading books, she could hear the author talking to white readers. I think it just helps to be specific about that in your writing. Like I said, Black folks, we don’t mess with the devil. But being aware of who I was writing it for, being aware of my art, and trying my best to take care of Black people in the writing of it, that was very intentional.”
Anytime he writes something, Walker said, the experience feels like a collaboration between his intention and something bigger.
“It’s like there’s a world where the play is already written,” he said. “I’m trying to pull from that thing to build it.”
Playwright York Walker
He thinks back to his experiences of being in the movie theater and seeing Jordan Peele’s Get Out or Us . The experience: everyone in the theater collectively talking back to the screen and that whole situation, really opened something for him and made him interested in what that would be like in the theater.
“I wanted to create a story that was interesting and compelling, and character-driven, that also could work on stage and not be corny, because horror, I feel like, could very easily go left on stage,” he said. “Even movies very easily can be terrible and not be scary at all.”
What hopes does he have for audiences in Atlanta who come to see Covenant ? He said he tries to shy away from dictating what he wants people to walk away from his work with.
“I think it’s going to be different depending on what you bring to it. If you grew up in a religious household like me, you will bring something specific to the experience. You’ll probably walk away from it very differently from somebody who didn’t grow up with religion at all,” he said. “If you had a very religious mother or grandmother, you’ll see that person in the play. It may or may not trigger. Everybody will, more than likely, have a different experience of it. What’s most important to me is that, especially for Black people, they feel seen. That’s the biggest thing for me. When I go to the theater, I just want to walk away feeling like I’m a little less alone in the world, a little less alone in my experience. That doesn’t necessarily mean that I walk away from the play feeling like, ‘Oh, it’s a happy ending. I’m going to be okay.’ Sometimes it doesn’t end that way. But I’m still grateful to have recognized myself on stage. Sometimes that’s enough.”

THE MAGICAL EFFECT OF SOUND DESIGN
STORY BY Amanda Watkins
Growing up, my favorite Halloween pastime was hiding behind the front door and surprising trick or treaters with a homemade cassette tape recording. My Dad and I were foley artists of sorts and created from scratch a mix tape, much to the delight of the friends and neighbors whose “TRICK OR TREAT” when the door opened was met with recorded heavy footsteps, evil deranged cackling, and blood curdling witches’ screams. Our house was the hit of the neighborhood (even my husband remembers it as terrifying). And we didn’t just stop at sound design; we really engaged in the make believe. There was purple haze in the foyer, and my Mom, Dad, and I were dressed as a witch, a ghost and a scarecrow, respectively.
In the theatre world, behind every great production is a team of designers who with their director carefully builds the physical world of the play. And often, because of auditory design’s capacity to tell story well and create great emotional impact for an audience, the work of the sound designer is the secret sauce between a show being good and a show being great.
That is certainly the case with Melanie Chen Cole’s design in Covenant, a story that tells the story of a charismatic musician named Johnny who, as rumor tells it, made a deal with the devil to become the superb guitarist he is. Covenant’s playwright grounds us in a musical motif by way of Johnny’s devil music, “Sailed Away,” and the slippery sexiness of the song invites our ears to engage fully in the aural experience Cole has created for the production.
Cole says, “At times, the environmental aspects of rural early Fall Georgia becomes the score. How can the cicadas fade into the background or support an intense moment? And how can they morph into something more sinister as the play develops? We are in an intimate space so it can all feel so REAL. Because there are big visual gestures, I am also exploring moments of the loss of sound, the loudness of silence.”
Cole worked with foley artist Caleb Foley and guitarist Michael Grieve to help bring the sound design to life, diving into the 1930s and honoring the period, while bringing a modern sensibility to the piece, accentuating distortion and the element of surprise. Since the actors aren’t using microphones, careful attention must be paid to the creation of richness for the ears, without depending on volume. When asked about her research process, Cole says, “I like to hand off a Spotify playlist to my director so we can learn together how we talk about sound, taking particular note of mood changes and the instruments used in the music. I then sketch the entire show, similar to a costume designer’s work, using clips for scene transitions.”
All of this meticulous and careful attention to the sound design of this production does more than create a suspenseful and often “thriller” environment; it deepens the impact of an audience’s experience. And what more does theatre ask of its audience than to listen well for a couple of hours and give into the make believe.

Covenant is a Black Southern Gothic fantasy thriller which I realize is a lot of descriptors for a single experience. However, all of them are necessary to really capture what this play truly is. In fact, the only other piece of art I can remember that explores similar themes in a similar way is the recent Ryan Coogler smash-hit movie Sinners. Both pieces are so incredibly timely and spoke to me on a personal level as someone who has deep small-town, Bible Belt roots. Covenant reminded me that me, my life, and I don’t exist in a vacuum. None of us do. Whether direct or not, for better or for worse, all of our experiences are inherited from those who came before us and the ones who are walking on Earth with us now. As a Black American man, all the implications that come with that is terrifying to think about even without adding in the occult. Then York Walker did just that!
This play proved to be scarier than I originally expected and not just from the expert craftsmanship by Walker. Ironically, I was actually most horrified by the everyday, culturally specific situations rather than the fantastical or visceral elements that often accompanied them(though they scared me too). Covenant takes place in small-town Georgia in the 1930s, and although I haven’t lived in the ‘30s, I think many facets of small-town culture has continued on for the past century practically the same. Especially Black, Southern, small-town culture. Especially the problematic things of Black, Southern, small-town culture. I’ve seen the horrors of family favoritism. I’ve seen the insidiousness of contrived religious practice that destroys self and community. I’ve seen the tragedy of a small town eviscerating the spirit of someone who needs to leave but can’t. It seems to me that small towns tend to bring out a special existential angst I believe all humanities feel, and I’d be surprised if Walker didn’t have that in mind while creating this piece.
Sinners was one of the most discussed movies of 2025, and I think Covenant has similar vigorous conversation surrounding it because it’s perfect timing for one of the scariest times in human history. Truth is constantly undermined. Justice is constantly thwarted. There is a seemingly supernatural evil that’s reverberating throughout the country. Yet it is at this very moment when this show reminds us that the supernatural evil doesn’t need to come from hell but could come from our family, our friends, or the worst — ourselves. It’s a mirror that shows us the ugly truth of when we do not or cannot take the time to untangle our webs of traumas by truly loving our neighbors as ourselves.

Alliance Theatre Sets Wonder Free.
And what delights during performances ignites a brighter future. You can invest in better tomorrows by supporting access for youth to experience world-class theatre on a stage that’s all their own. Now is the time.
Introducing The Goizueta Stage For Youth And Families,
a transformative new space designed to inspire young audiences year-round. Research shows that early access to live theater can significantly combat critical issues like low literacy rates and the urgent youth mental health crisis. To fulfill this promise, the Alliance Theatre is launching a $10 million Imagine Endowment to expand our capacity to serve more young people and sustain these enriching experiences in perpetuity. With this endowment, the Goizueta Stage will be a beacon of accessibility, welcoming children from all backgrounds and removing economic, geographic, and physical barriers to ensure that every child can engage with the magic of theatre for generations to come.

SYNOPSIS
Avery is desperate for a way out of her small Georgia town. When her childhood friend Johnny returns after making a name for himself as a blues star, Avery may have found her chance. But Johnny’s sudden fame leads to gossip that he made a deal with the devil to attain his newfound musical genius, and before long it becomes clear that he’s not the only one in town with a secret. A suspense-filled thriller that delivers one devilish twist after another, Covenant explores the gripping power of belief and the thin veil between rumor and truth.
