Peace College Theatre Presents Crumbs from the Table
by Lynn Nottage
September 21-25 and 27-28, 2010            

7:30 p.m. in Leggett Theater

Imagine a pairing...between Tennessee Williams and Lorraine Hansberry, a memory play about a black family, a glass menagerie in the sun... "Crumbs From the Table of Joy" [is] a small window into the past, and this almost voyeuristic glimpse is worth attention. -NY Post. ...a complex, thought-provoking play... -Chicago Sun Times.  

Lynn Nottage, the award-winning author of such plays as 'Intimate Apparel' and 'Fabulation,' continues her tradition of thoughtful, touching and funny plays with 'Crumbs from the Table of Joy.' It's 1950 and Godfrey Crump has just lost his wife. Finding solace in Father Divine and the Peace Mission Movement, he pulls up stakes and moves his teenage daughters to Brooklyn. Told through the eyes of his 17-year-old daughter Ernestine, 'Crumbs from the Table of Joy' aims straight at the heart in a story that deals with boundaries of race, gender, and society.
