SYNOPSIS: During a 6-day workshop we will continue to develop this musical. This workshop will not have a public performance. It’s 1968 in a small rural town in South Carolina where the Joint, an old, run-down juke joint, sits at the heart of a changing neighborhood, serving as both a hard-drinking sensual dive and prayer-filled sacred sanctuary. The Joint is the story of three generations of women striving to live their dreams at great costs.
BREAKDOWN:
ENSEMBLE 1 - Female.
