Ceremonies in Dark Old MenDrama Written By: Lonnie Elder, III Directed by: Patricia Moore Cast: Jerry Maple, Jr., Cameron Rabie, Curtis Allen, Carey Hart, Keith Wade, Herman McGloun, Lela Elam, Tonya Williamson
Synopsis:
This powerful, classic masterpiece depicts the dreams, frustrations, and ultimate endurance of a black family living in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City in the 1960s. The drama centers on the fractured Parker family whose aging patriarch struggles to hold onto only memories of his heyday while his daughter toils at a dead-end office job, his two hustling sons sell bootleg liquor and engage in petty thievery, and a smooth-talking con artist runs numbers out of their decrepit barber shop.
