t's the summer of 1967, and the songs of Motown are breaking records and breaking barriers.

Chelle and her brother, Lank, are running an unlicensed after-hours joint out of their basement — risky business — especially during a brutal police crackdown that has set off riots throughout the city. When Lank offers refuge to a mysterious stranger, he and Chelle clash. Pent-up emotions erupt, and they must navigate the chaos both outside and within.

This play contains strong adult themes that may be disturbing to some viewers.
