Embers of Tent City

Synopsis:
What can drive two life-long enemies onto common ground? This play brews a combustible mix in February 2009 of rights, racism and the rage that triggered the first meeting of the Tea Party less than a month after President Obama's first inauguration. As the play begins, Jim, wants to shelter people evicted by the mortgage crisis just as he sheltered people evicted for voting before the 1965 Voting Rights Act. He is rebuilding Tent City in a field next to the farmhouse of the white sheriff who watched without helping as the leader was beaten almost to death. As they renew old hatreds, the sheriff's granddaughter arrives hell-bent to get to the first meeting of the Tea Party on February 16, followed by a smooth east coast operative who wants to recruit her as an organizer. When a tent burns, an unexpected connection grows between the two old men.

Notes:
Developed in workshops with playwrights Jackie Sibblies Drury (at NYTW) and Rogelio Martinez (at Primary Stages/ESPA.) November 2014 Table reading by Arthur French (Sr) as main character.
