MAMA'S OVEN

Written by Ife-Gail F. Young

Synopsis

The Korean war has ended, and men have been returning home. Doreen’s
husband Army, however, has not come back as of three years after his
discharge. It's only after Doreen finally meets a love interest that Army
returns, different than when he left and displaying serious issues.
Although their marriage died with Army's desertion, Doreen still feels
obligated to him. Meanwhile, Odessa, Doreen’s mother and co-owner of O&D’s
Boarding House, feels an undying need to save the orphaned doo-wop singers
that meet under the streetlight. However, the adage ‘boys will be boys’
threaten the young singers' livelihoods. Their talent is their only hope
for a brighter tomorrow.
