The winner of the 2015 Dionysos Cup, LEAVINGS follows the final days of Mama Bea, a 111 year old African American woman. Mama Bea wants to unite with Governor Skinner, the white governor of Mississippi, to set to rest the spirits that haunt her family. Her family and the governor are both descended from a nineteenth century slave owner who left the White half of the family with a heritage of privilege and the Black half with a history of violence, prejudice and deprivation. Only by uniting the White and Black sides of the family in a ritual of reconciliation can the tortured spirits that haunt the family be put to rest.

Seeking: 3 Black females to play 20-30, 50's, 111 years old. 3 Black males to play 20-30. 1 White female 20s. 2 White men 30-40, 50s.
