A BLACK AND WHITE COOKIE to Have Staged Reading at Silver Spring Stage

In this provocative and timely play, Harold Wilson-a gruff, conservative African American in his late 60s-finally re-opens his New York City newsstand following the pandemic lockdown. But an exorbitant rent increase forces him to close after 30 years and reluctantly retire to Florida with his niece Carol. Enter Albie Sands, an eccentric 1960s Jewish radical who persuades Harold to fight the landlord. Overcoming their differences, Harold and Albie form an unlikely yet powerful friendship to confront corporate greed and prejudice. Suggested Donation: $5
