American Menu

January 19, 2010

I think that one of things I found very interesting is that people from that time period – that were growing up during that era as young adults – when they see the play they mention to me, “Wow, this is my story.  This is exactly my story.  This is exactly why I left the South and came to New York so many years ago.” – Interview with American Menu Playwright Don Wilson Glenn

Previews: 1/30, 1/31, 2/3
Opening Night: 2/4

PG/Regional Premiere

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 the senseless death of a young boy. 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.
