         24, 7, 365         Mile in My Shoes, A         Out of Silence: Abortion Stories from the 1 in 3 Campaign         Somebody Calls 911

24, 7, 365

Synopsis:
n 24, 7, 365, playwright Nelson asks What would the world look like if people were happy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year? Educated African Americans' attitudes about race, class and social activism are put under a humorous microscope as two Washington couples endure a civilized weekend camping trip for a birthday celebration and much needed rest and recuperation. One night together, complete with a misunderstood hip hop poet, a very old tree and a large bottle of vodka, complicates and ultimately illuminates their inner and outer lives.
