ABOUT THE PLAY

In the late great literary giant James Baldwin's classic "The Amen Corner",
Sister Margaret Alexander, a fiery minister, heads a storefront church in
Harlem while raising her musician son and allowing her estranged husband
back into there lives under the watchful eye of her congregation. She is
soon confronted and torn between the faith of her church and the love of
her family. Baldwin who wrote the classic novel "Go Tell It On The
Mountain" and numerous literary works was the subject of the Academy Award
