This piece is meant to be in 4 different worlds, similar, but 4 different women telling 4 different experiences. This piece can be presented as a one-woman show, one actor portraying all 4 women or 4 actors. The actor must play a range from 7 to 70 years old. These characters are all black women. Simply because we always need more black beauties on stage. The set is simplistic, a chair, a stool, and a few prop and costume pieces should suffice. Music can play a large part in this piece, to help with transitions etc. The words, the pain, the storytelling should drive the piece. These women have come to an honest moment in their lives where it forces them to not only see their truth, but speak it. Some for the first time.
by Gloria Bond Clunie at Orlando Shakes, you have the character and description of the play:
An irreverent comedy that takes a hilarious look at the modern racial divide as two families find the meaning in their shared history.

Inspired by true events, this hilarious and delicious play by Bekah Brunstetter (NBC’s This Is Us) is proof that love is the key ingredient in creating common ground.
