BROKE-OLOGY
by Nathan Louis Jackson
February 10 – 26, 2017

The King family has weathered life's hardships, surviving with their love for each other intact. William King lives in the house his two sons grew up in. He's alone, but he maintains his allegiance with their mother in his own private way. As illness takes its toll on his body, the brothers are called home to take care of him and immediately find themselves at a crossroads. The older son having escaped the poverty and their neighborhood has just finished grad school but returns to town to help take care of his father. The younger brother has remained at home but now must face the reality of his dead-end restaurant job. Broke-ology is a moving exploration of how time and circumstance — and the hard fact of poverty — can diminish hope, divide loving siblings and threaten to extinguish life itself.
