Performance - A Song for Coretta by Pearl Cleage February 13, 2010

By Pearl Cleage (Regional Premiere)In Honor of Black History Month February 6, 2006, people began lining up at dawn outside of Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church to pay respects to the late Mrs. Coretta Scott King, whose body lay in state in the small sanctuary. People of all ages stood patiently for hours, waiting to say goodbye. Beautifully written, "A Song for Coretta," focuses five women from different backgrounds and experiences, ranging in age from 17 to 57. When you wait in line for several hours you find out a lot about people.
