In 1963 Louisiana, Caroline, an African American maid working for a Jewish family, navigates the challenges of racial, social, and economic change during the Civil Rights era. The play uses the backdrop of the family's laundry room and the symbolic "change" left in the pockets of clothes to explore Caroline's internal struggles, her relationship with the family, and the broader societal shifts happening around her. The musical blends personal drama with historical context, highlighting themes of dignity, transformation, and hope.
