2022 REMAINING SHOWS ...

 

HAPPY ENDING

Directed by Isaiah Evans

​

Happy Ending is a winner of the coveted Vernon Rice and Obie Awards. A long-run Off-Broadway hit filled with sharp, satiric thrusts, the play reports hilariously on the plight of two black domestics whose white employers are on the verge of divorce thereby threatening a cutoff in the household graft which has brought considerable luxury to their lives. You will see "Laughter is a powerful weapon".

  DAY OF ABSENCE

     Directed by Marc Stevens

​

DAY OF ABSENCE is a satire about an imaginary Southern town where all the black people have suddenly disappeared.  The only ones left are sick and lying in hospital beds, refusing to get well.  Infants are crying because they are being tended to by strange parents.  The Mayor pleads for the President, Governor, and the NAACP to send him "a jackpot of jigaboos". On a nationwide radio network he calls on the blacks, wherever they are, to come back. What happens next is hilarious but the suggestion is strong that things will never quite be the same again.
