Kean Stage - Enlow Recital Hall
215 North Avenue, Hillside, NJ 07205

Written by VINCENT TERRELL DURHAM

Directed by MARSHALL JONES III

It’s the summer of 1958 and Mrs. Sarah Woods has been visiting colored families in a small rural North Carolina community on a mission from the State. Cora Lee Burden is the latest to receive an appointment notice from Mrs. Woods. The sixty-four-year-old grandmother of a mentally challenged child has no idea what a white social worker from the government would want with her family. But being a colored woman of the south, she knows the visit is a call for caution.
