It's May 1968, shortly after the murder of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and a month before the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Five Black kitchen workers at a segregated lunch counter are forced to engage in painful self-examination brought about by yet another senseless death in their town. Through passionate conversations, these women face the realities of life on the cusp of change. Jammed in a hot, airless room they must battle prejudice, poverty, ignorance, and each other as they search for inspiration. They manage to find humor which helps reconnect them to their humanity.

Presented by the UCSC African American Theater Arts Troupe in conjunction with the UCSC Theater Arts Department.
