"Crumbs from the Table of Joy"
The Weekend Theater, 7th & Chester
In 1950, Godfrey Crump, widowed father of two teenage girls, moves his family from Pensacola, Florida to Brooklyn, NY after the passing of his wife, Sandra. Swallowed by depression and surrounded by hate, Godfrey seeks solace in Father Divine, religious figure of the Peace Mission Movement. Unexpectedly, his sister-in-law, Lily, moves in. Her proactive lifestyle, from partying to anti-racism protests, leads to many clashes between Lily and Godfrey, especially after he comes home with a very new, and very white German immigrant wife, Gerte. This play explores the unraveling fabric of a family that does its best to piece and patch their relationships. A collage of anger, oppression, and hope.
Directed by Crystal C. Mercer.
