It’s written, directed, and produced by award-winning playwright Je’Caryous Johnson, who’s plays have grossed more than $85 million. His film credits include ‘Friends and Lovers,’ ‘The Maintenance Man’ and ‘Whatever She Wants.’

The show also marks the 25th anniversary of the rapper’s debut album, Doggystyle. According to a press release, the play is described as an “urban theatre” experience that tells the story of “a multi-faceted character who is a gangsta rapper, family man and man of God.

“Redemption of a Dogg examines the internal battle one man has between preserving his life-long legacy and losing the love of his life when he is faced with choosing fame and fortune over faith and family.” It’s also reported that a string of Snoop’s biggest hits will also feature in the production.
