The play opens with a flashback to the civil rights era, when Buster Neal is faced with a life-or-death confrontation that becomes a local legend. Flashing forward to present day, his 17-year-old great-great grandson Marcus is dealing with modern urban issues – drugs, peer pressure, a broken family – while his father and grandfather disagree on the best way to raise him. When a bad decision creates consequences that Marcus can’t handle, Buster Neal arrives as a mysterious visitor to give his descendants a second chance.

“The characters embody stories from the past 100 years of Black History,” says Alexander. “It speaks to what and how we dealt with things in the past, and our choices in coping with the issues faced today.”

The play features an all-male ensemble cast of Charles Anthony Burks, Sidiki Fofana, Stephen Hill, Dennis Johnson, Patrick Mitchell, and Nathan Purdee.

Ok, so how do you win the tickets?  I’m thinking of a number between 1 and 100.  Give your best guest in the comments section below. (Only one entry per person please!) This contest will close at 6:00 p.m. today.  Please do not enter if you will be unable to attend on opening night (this Friday, March 4th).  I’ll award the tickets to the person who guesses the correct number (or gets closest to it). In the event of a tie, I’ll flip a coin to decide the winner. So have at it in the comments section!

This contest is CLOSED. Stay tuned for the winning number!
