Production Details
Sunset Baby by Dominique Morisseau
SYNOPSIS:
Set against the social politics of the 1950s, this charming, funny, and moving play follows 17-year-old Ernestine Crump as she adjusts to life after the passing of her beloved mother.
The Crump family is adrift and in trouble. In search of spiritual answers, Ernestine’s father relocates the family from Pensacola to Brooklyn where Widowed Godfrey falls under the spell of Sweet Father Divine, while his teen daughters immerse themselves in the illusions of Hollywood to escape racial prejudice. It is here the Crumps must navigate a changing family dynamic, an unwelcoming neighborhood, and a shifting set of American ideals.
“…a complex, thought-provoking play…” —Chicago Sun-Times
