| COTO:
Chocolate on the Outside |
| a
play by April Turner |
| |
| Four
African American coworkers set out for a team building workshop
retreat in the snow blown Appalachian mountains. The roads
soon become impassable, leaving them stranded in a dusty,
ill-equipped cabin. |
|
|
Despite
personality conflicts, the four eventually agree to
pass the time by engaging in a series of games. Through
these games they inadvertently confront one another
and explore intra-racial issues that afflict many African
Americans; matters of hair, complexion, selling out,
black love and middle class guilt. |
| |
|
| They
ultimately find themselves gaining the courage to embark on
a path of greater understanding through the power of forgiveness.
