O! OVATION RECOMMENDED

“Phylicia Rashad is a theatrical force to be reckoned with.” -- Los Angeles Times 

“A tour-de-force performance!” -- Entertainment Weekly 

An astonishing, deeply moving new drama about family, acceptance, and the power of faith from MacArthur “Genius Award”-winning playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney (The Brother/Sister Plays, Oscar® winner for Moonlight), featuring Tony Award® winner Phylicia Rashad. At the mouth of the Mississippi River, Shelah’s family and friends have come to celebrate her birthday and save her from a leaking roof. But in this contemporary parable inspired by the Book of Job, unexpected events turn the reunion into the ultimate test of faith and love. As her world seems to collapse around her, Shelah (Rashad) must fight to survive the rising flood of life’s greatest challenges in this poetic and piercing new play. 

“Remarkable! A brilliant ensemble cast. Ms. Rashad is stunning. Don't miss her performance. Don't miss this play!” -- Anthony Byrnes, KCRW
