Video: Yaya DaCosta for First Breeze of Summer

Yaya DaCosta is getting great reviews early in the run for First Breeze of Summer. Yaya plays Lucretia, a young woman who had to make difficult choices to protect her family. The play revolves around Lucretia when she’s an old woman, but there are flashbacks to points in her life that explain everything that’s happening in the present. Yaya is Lucretia during the flashbacks.

Broadway World recently caught up with Yaya and interviewed her about the role. They chat about how Yaya found out about the role, how she became interested in acting, and First Breeze of Summer and Signature Theatre. She’s so poised, I know she has a great career ahead of her.
