Lula, a lascivious white woman tries every vulgar way she knows to pick up and seduce a seemingly decent black youth, Clay, in a NY subway car. Failing, she resorts to humiliating him. This breaks the facade of his decency, as he descends to her level for a spitfire fight and decrees that murder of the whites by the blacks "would make us all sane."
There are roles for one black man (age early 20’s) and one white women (age late 20's through early 30’s). Auditions will be cold readings from the script.
Rehearsals will run May 8 to June 8.
