Appeal to the Woman of the House, An

Synopsis:
What would you do if history knocked on your door?

Notes:
Throughout the 2013-2014 season Retro Productions workshopped Christie Perfetti Williams's AN APPEAL TO THE WOMAN OF THE HOUSE. Born out of the Retro Productions 20th Century Salon in the fall of 2012, APPEAL takes place on one fateful night in May, 1961 in the farmhouse of Rose and Gideon Walker on the Alabama-Tennessee border. It is just after midnight when David and his fellow lost Freedom Riders knock on the door seeking assistance in the form of a phone and a place to stay until daylight. But Gideon, who knows this is Klan country, is reluctant to let in this band of mixed race college kids until Rose forces him to open the door with the acknowledgment that "they're just babies." What follows is a touching story of race, love, acceptance and learning how to stand up for what you believe.

Carnival Girls

Synopsis:
Excerpt from Carnival Girls - Bernadette: What's your fate? Your fortune? For a dollar I'll tell you. Life line. Heart line. It's all right here. I can feel it. I can say it. I can give it to you -- offer it up on a platter of devices. Cards, crystals, beads. Sticks, stones, leaves. For 50 cents you can drink my tea. Taste your future. Know what your body knows already. This life has already been lived. the stars in all their wisdom decided long ago. . .. I wish I may, I wish I might on the first star I see tonight. I wish. . .the first question they always ask - when will I find the love of my life? And the second is - when will I die? I wish I didn't believe in my own predictions. I wish they all fell in love and stayed in love and died at some ripe old age mid-sleep. But I know the truth or at least a variation of the truth and this is why when they ask me 'Do you read your own palm' I say no. Because I am sincere girl from this land of caravan and my eyes are far from blind. I know. I know.
