Lupita Nyong'o is not stopping any time soon. She has already won the hearts of many for winning an Oscar but she still has a long way to go before she gets that Hollywood Walk of Fame star. The Kenyan darling recently unveiled the Star Wars poster and got fans squeaking about it. Now, she has teamed up with Danai Gurira - a Hollywood actress from Zimbabwe - for the next big project, which happens to be a Broadway production. Danai is known for her iconic role as Michonne in The Walking Dead series.

Eclipse is directed by Lupita and tells a story about the critical, decisive roles that women played during the second Liberian civil war. The play's perspective argues that the women may have been politically powerless but they truly influenced various aspects of the war; they were wives of activists and war lords.

Here are photos of Lupita celebrating the opening of the play, which has since been profiled by major news outlets like New York Times and Variety.
