Activity Description
GRANDMOTHERS, INCORPORATED, is a fun and hilarious comedy written by Crystal Rhodes and L. Barnett Evans, and directed by Marjorie Moon.
GRANDMOTHERS, INCORPORATED is about four retired widows who arrive at an isolated cabin for a weekend of peace and serenity when they are confronted with a notorious drug lord in distress. Chaos reigns as these amateur sleuths dispense their unique brand of justice on the criminal in their midst.
This comedy for teens and up takes place in the elegant 200- seat Billie Holiday Theatre, named after the legendary singer Billie Holiday, which has served as the training ground of notable, aspiring theater professionals.
Described as a theatre with a "soul and a mission," this intimate performance space has produced special programs that address social issues of concern and interest to the African-American and Caribbean-American communities.
