The Spot

Geoffrey Grier’s The Spot is about a teenage couple whose lives change dramatically when she gets pregnant at fifteen. Torn between supporting his new family and going after his dream to be a basketball star, he starts dealing drugs. Soon, he gets wrongly blamed for the deaths of two people and sent to jail. When he gets out, his twin daughters are grown, his old girlfriend’s got a new man, and he’s tempted, once again, to do something bad. The play is part fiction and part fact, and the cast includes people who have actually been incarcerated or homeless.
