Milton is a story about forgiveness. It follows the life of Homewood- bred attorney Milton Raiford who is notoriously known for his bold and cutting character, both in and out of the courtroom. Milton takes a deep look into the events of his life that have led him to become the man of faith that he is today. It is Milton's unrelenting devotion to the redemption of human spirit that drives the play from start to finish. From integrating his high school, to forbidden love, and many unforeseeable hurdles, Milton ultimately prevails with the aid of worship, art and God.
