HUNGER IN PARADISE Debuts at Midtown International Festival
By: Julie Musbach Jul. 08, 2017
"Hunger In Paradise" written and directed by Mary McCallum, will make its New York City debut at the 2017 Midtown International Festival. Set against the backdrop of the 1921 Tulsa riots, "Hunger In Paradise" introduces the audience to the citizens of Greenwood, a thriving area of black-owned businesses and prosperity. When proprietor Damie's adopted son "D" becomes involved with a white woman, racial tensions explode into violence and destruction, irreversibly altering the relationships among the Greenwood and Tulsa neighbors.
The show stars: Michael Hudson, Ayesha Hughes, Matthew Josepher, Ray Marcuss, Mary McCallum, Candace LaFayette, Lee Waldrop, and Jonathan Wray.
Mary McCallum is an award winning playwright. Her work includes "Six Triple Eight" (winner of the Atlanta Black Theatre Festival and Tampa Bay Theatre Festival) and "SingleVille" (winner of the D.C. Black Theatre Festival).
