WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Between the Scottsboro Boys and Rosa Parks, there was Isaac Woodard,
Jr. Filled with humor and heartbreak, Reflections of a Heart is based
on true events in America's history that were almost lost in time. Set
between 1946 and 1951, the play takes place in the Bronx and South
Carolina. Shifting between times, African-American WWII veteran Isaac
Woodard, Jr. finds himself under siege by hard-hearted detectives,
social injustices, racial prejudices, and his own missing memories.
America welcomes back its native son, as a highly decorated war hero,
with plans of starting a family. Things go horribly awry when he
begins traversing his past and present. The fight for his country is
over, as the fight for his life begins.
