Event Description:
In 1969 Pittsburgh, the regulars of a rundown diner gather to chew over their changing world and struggle for a piece of the American Dream. Owner Memphis Lee is battling the city over the meager price offered for his restaurant, which is slated for demolition. Surrounded by a newly-released ex-con, an elderly prophet, a numbers runner, and a resentful waitress, Memphis and his crew grapple with urban renewal, racial injustice, and the brutal reality of their economic struggles.
The play explores the collision between idealism and brutal reality, serving as both a powerful historical portrait and a timeless meditation on the value of life, dignity, and survival.
