WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Hospice concerns the relationship of two African-American women: Alice Anderson and her daughter Jenny. Years before, Alice had abandoned her 10-year-old daughter and husband for a life as a bohemian poet in Paris. Now Alice is dying of cancer, and she returns to the U.S. and her old home for her last days, not realizing that Jenny (now 30 and a defiantly single mother-to-be) has also moved into the same house.
There is an extra performance on Wednesday, May 22 at 8:00pm and no performance on Saturday, May 25.
