WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A bustling apartment stoop in a new black neighborhood in 1950s Atlanta brims with vitality and ambition, while a peek behind apartment walls reveals an intimate and steamy world of private bonds and struggles within. With a keen eye, vivid language and riotous humor, playwright S.M.

Woolly Mammoth presents this world premiere, directed by Seret Scott.
