Comedy. It’s three days before Christmas. While wrapping gifts, an
obsessive-compulsive kindergarten teacher receives jarring news from a
stranger setting off a series of events involving missing relatives, a
drunken drag queen, broken hearts, Bette Davis movies, mistaken identities,
Midrashic parables and why Jesus is having a really bad day. In short,
everything you might not expect in a heart-warming holiday story.  But none
the less, a holiday COMEDY not to be missed!*

*From Charles Smith ("Free Man of Color" Ensemble Season 2010-11) comes
this fictional account based on a trues story...**They survived history.
But whose history?  **In 1930, James Cameron and Mary Ball emerged as the
sole survivors of racial crimes in Marion, Indiana.  Teenagers when the
crimes occurred, they look back on those events and their lives in this
work commissioned by the Indiana Repertory Theatre.  As their past and
present lives intermingle, Cameron and Ball discover that their
remembrances of that day differ even if their experiences were the same –
challenging us all to wrestle with the tensions between memory, history,
and redemption*

*Marie: *Caucasian woman, in her late sixties. She’s jumpy, skittish, and
doesn’t trust anyone.

twenty-year-old.
*James: *African-American man on a mission, mid sixties.
*Apples:* James as a young man who thinks he wants to be a gangster.
*Abe Smith:* young African-American male. More of a lover than a fighter,
Abe is well on his way to becoming a man.
*Tommy Shipp:* young African-American male, wanna-be gangster.
*Claude:  *young Caucasian male. He appears to be an all-American boy who
likes being a big fish in a small pond. Some believe that he’s Mary’s
fiancé.

Mary’s memory, he’s forty to fifty years old. He’s a working class man
with working
class values.

late thirties to late 40s.

Welcome to Harry Hope's saloon, home to a ragtag band of drunks and
dreamers who today celebrate the arrival of Hickey, the charismatic
traveling salesman whose raucous presence always ensures a grand good time.
But when a newly sober Hickey blows in with a renewed outlook on life, his
zealous attempts to fix the lives of his old friends lead to a series of
events that are at once devastatingly comic and heartbreaking—and culminate
with a revelation that threatens to shatter the tenuous illusions that fuel
their lives. O'Neill's monumental drama is an unparalleled theatrical
journey, "as corrosive as rotgut whiskey, as morbidly funny as a funeral
gone amok, as hallucinatory as an alcohol-fueled excursion into purgatory"
(Chicago Sun-Times).
