Blues at the Dock

 Charles Randolph-Wright's acclaimed play Blue chronicles the life of an affluent and prominent African American family that runs a funeral home in a rural South Carolina town. Told through the eyes of the eldest son Reuben and evolving over a span of 20 years, the story centers around his relentlessly driven and highly stylish mother, Peggy, who is mesmerized by the music of the great jazz singer Blue Williams. Abounding with tenderness and acceptance, this humorous family portrait and search for unconditional love will introduce audiences to an endearing African American family.
