Photo Preview: L.A. Theatre Works' CRUMBS FROM THE TABLE OF JOY
By: Gabrielle Sierra Dec. 07, 2009
Crumbs from the Table of Joy - The Crump family is in trouble. Godfrey (Russell Hornsby) is widowed and adrift, and his teen daughters, Ernestine (Deidrie Henry) and Ermina (Tinashe Kajese), have immersed themselves in glamorous illusions of Hollywood to escape the racial prejudice of 1950s Brooklyn. But things change quickly when free-spirited Aunt Lily (Charlayne Woodard) shows up. Suddenly, Godfrey remarries a white woman (Kate Steele), Ermina discovers boys, and Ernestine is torn between embracing bebop and the Communist Party. All performances are recorded to air on L.A. Theatre Works' syndicated radio theater series, which broadcasts weekly on public radio stations nationwide and can be streamed on demand at www.latw.org.
