Demerara Gold

Experience a powerful story of identity, resilience, and belonging at Demerara Gold, part of America 250 in Roswell and the American Mosaic Series.
Written and performed by award-winning artist Ingrid Griffith, Demerara Gold is a poignant solo performance that follows seven-year-old Demerara, a free-spirited child left in Guyana with her eccentric grandmothers while her parents journey to the United States in search of a better life. Through moments of humor, heartache, and hope, the story unfolds as Demerara learns to navigate the space between two cultures and two worlds.
This moving coming-of-age story offers an intimate look at the immigrant experience—capturing the courage, sacrifice, and unyielding spirit of families who help shape America’s evolving identity. As part of the American Mosaic Series, Demerara Gold celebrates the diverse voices and lived experiences that collectively enrich the American story.
Join us for an unforgettable performance that reflects the heart of America 250: Tapestry of Generations in Roswell.
