ABOUT THE SHOW:
Oakland in 1967 is a powder keg of social activism ready to boil over into radical action. For the patrons of Miss Trish’s bar, it’s all just talking points — until the explosive and seductive force of the revolution walks through the door. History and imagination collide with vibrant humor and echo into our present moment in this stirring new play from Tori Sampson (NYT Critic’s Pick If Pretty Hurts, Ugly Must Be A Muhfucka) and directed by LPTW Lucille Lortel Award winner Taylor Reynolds (Tambo and Bones).

Time: October 1967
MR. FAR — A smooth talker. Mid-50s, black man.
MS. TRISH — Owner of the bar, Mother of Sassy; 40-something-year-old creole black woman. Classy. Still. Rules the bar with humor and leeway.

SASSY — Daughter of Ms. Trish; 21-year-old light skin creole black woman. AS GRIOT: Ageless. timeless.
