The play takes place in 1968. It depicts the struggles of a Black family who have migrated from the South to the North.
Looking to cast 3 actresses. Berta, 47 – Mother of 9, hardworking woman of the south. No-nonsense woman.
Lillian – 18 – Fireball of life and opinionated.
Helen, 23 – Newly divorced mother of 2 with a 3rd one on the way. No-nonsense like her mother Berta. A bit bitter.
Poogie – 47 – Berta’s husband. A hardworking man of the South. Lost an arm as a child at the hands of a White mob. Harbors this pain deep in his belly. Actions in play will bring this pain to the surface.
Robert James – 21. A young man who is denying paternity of the newborn child of another one of Berta’s daughters. A young man who wanted to have sex but not a child.
Narrator needed to read stage directions.
