It's the summer of 1958 and Cora Lee
Burden, the sixty-four-year-old grandmother of a mentally challenged child,
has no idea what a white social worker from the government would want with
her family. But being a colored woman of the south, she knows the visit is
a call for caution.
The Fertile River is supported in part by
a 2023 Union County On Stage! Community Grant.

A suburban couple hosts a
welcome-to-the-neighborhood dinner party for their new neighbors — a couple
recently relocated from Cabrini Green, Chicago's roughest housing project —
and it's anything but welcoming. A dark comedy about reverse gentrification
and how we deal with the "other" when the other looks just like
us.
*Certain restrictions may apply. Not
valid on Sunday matinee performances or on previously purchased tickets.
