Set in 1940s Harlem, this insightful and humorous new drama tells the story of Elizabeth and Quilly—two churchgoing sisters of a certain age. When a handsome young man from the Deep South rents a room in the apartment they share, all hell breaks loose. Since its premiere in 1997, The Old Settler has fast become a new American classic. The wonderful cast includes Suzzanne Douglas, Ami Brabson, Nikkole Salter and Jamahl Marsh.
