Urban drama set in Humboldt Park, a Chicago ghetto neighborhood in transition, as the speed of gentrification accelerates and property taxes rise. Story centers on two young couples: Hoody and D, who have been in the neighborhood for years, and Czar and April, who have saved for years to buy their first home. Hoody and D live in the old town house Hoody inherited when his mother passed away. Hoody’s half-brother Marz, and two wayward friends, Esto and Trooper, all struggling to make a living, often use Hoody’s house as a crash pad when broke. Hoody is unable to pay the property taxes now overdue on his house, and is fighting to hold onto his family home. Czar and his wife April are starting a family, and have decided to relocate from a cramped 1-bedroom apartment to a renovated townhouse in order to raise their new child in the developing multicultural community of Humboldt Park. As Czar and Hoody struggle to maintain separate identities and accept the changes surrounding them, the play examines culture, race and socio-economics in the modern American Village with humor, humanity, dignity and pathos.
