	_IN THE BLOOD_ 
by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks is a modern,
urban riff on Nathaniel Hawthorne's _The Scarlet Letter._  Homeless
mother Hester La Negrita lives with her five kids on the tough streets
of the inner city. Her kids, played by adult actors, double as five
other people in her life: ex-boyfriend, social worker, doctor, best
friend and minister. While Hester's kids fill her life with joy
(comical moments amid the harsh world of poverty) the supposedly
supportive adults only hold her down.  Will anything prevent a tragic
end?

Gaskin, Daryl Kelley, Anthony X, Shannon Sharkey, Grace Mitri and
