“Inspiring, illuminating and engrossing.”
—Newsday (NY).
This one woman show explores beautiful, funny, dark, and exhilarating vignettes tracing Woodard’s life from a premature birth to a joyous maturity at eleven years old. This play is a “rare autobiographical tour de fource” painting one of the most positive pictures of the Black experience on stage. It is a powerful exploration of three generations of family love, struggle and triumph.
