Six decades after its intended Broadway opening, EastLine is pleased to be presenting this Long Island premiere. Wiletta Mayer is a veteran of the stage but she is not sure she has the clout to stand up to the hotshot white director and his less-than-progressive play. Alice Childress's 1955 play – which finally premiered on Broadway in 2021 – is a funny, moving and heartbreaking look at racism, identity, and ego in the high-stakes world of New York theatre.
