About the Show
It’s summer 1962 in Queens, New York. The sounds of doo-wop music fill the night, the Civil Rights movement is stirring and 12-year-old Jacqueline Marie Butler is on the verge of adulthood. When Jacqueline’s parents abruptly transfer her to a progressive school in Greenwich Village where she is one of only four black students, she is thrust out of her comfort zone. As her circle expands to include friends from every walk of life, Jacqueline discovers a new city and a whole new world.
SHABBAT DINNER IS SOLD OUT -- SHOW TICKETS AVAILABLE THROUGH EPDC UNTIL 4PM
This EntryPointDC program is intended for those in their 20s and 30s
