About the Show

Winner of the African American Playwrights Group 2021 Playwright's Festival (a collaboration with Matthews Playhouse). This historical drama, set in Tulsa, OK, starts on the day of May 30th, 1921; the day leading up to the Black Wall Street massacre. Lucile and Red-Manning, owners of a boarding house located in the heart of the Greenwood district, come to realize they are two degrees separated from a guest who has come to establish roots there. Lucile and Red-Manning have a special union which is threatened by this mysterious traveler. The boarding home occupants, like most citizens of Greenwood live a normal life, proud of the community they have built, but navigating the undercurrent of racial inequities is a constant in their lives. The play is a love story that orbits the most violent day in Black American history.
