Ruthie Coleman, an elderly Black poet, has her memories ignited when a young musician plays an obscure tune from an old songbook; the story moves between the present and the Tin Pan Alley, Harlem Renaissance, and World War II eras as her past is revealed. Written by Lynda Crawford and Gary Kupper, musical direction by D. Michael O'Dell, directed by Lee Summers. Part of Emerging Artists Theatre's Spark Musical Theatre Festival at the 28th Street Theatre, with 3 performances.
