‘Being Jamaican Is a Superpower’: Armanii on Culture, Modern Dancehall, and THE IMPACT

by Chantell Hayden December 16, 2025
written by Chantell Hayden

Armanii admits he is a little nervous. Not about the interview itself, just the day in general.

Though he came off as anxious, he assures me the nerves feel less like anxiety and more like awareness. He knows this is a big moment, and he’s ready for it.

The play brings together Greta (Golden Globe nominee Marilu Henner), a longtime ACLU donor on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and Tanner (Emmy nominee Shannon Purser), the young representative sent to secure a substantial contribution. While initially united by progressive values, their conversation quickly exposes a widening generational and ideological rift.

Henner and Purser deliver performances that keep an ideological debate grounded in recognizable human emotion.
