Penumbra Ends Run of TWO OLD BLACK GUYS JUST SITTING AROUND TALKING, 5/23/2010

Two Old Black Guys Just Sitting Around Talking By Gus Edwards Directed by Lou Bellamy will end its run May 23, 2010.

Henry and Abe don't really like one another, but like magnets the elderly duo is drawn to the same park bench every day. Together they sit somewhat bewildered by the world in front  of them, by the news, the busy pace of passersby, and how invisible they have become to  everyone around them. Over the years they have forged an abiding though cantankerous  companionship and in the twilight of their lives they find themselves more intertwined than  either had imagined. A poignant commentary on the nation's dwindling concern for our  elders, Two Old Black Guys Just Sitting Around Talking is a humorous and humbling  portrait of the arc of human life.
