Fortune has smiled on artist Bill Jameson (Grantham Coleman)—his friends just introduced him to a model for the final piece of his triptych on Black womanhood. But this woman, Tomorrow Marie (Olivia Washington), is no mere muse, and she’s about to give Bill much more than he bargained for. Set against the backdrop of the 1964 Harlem riot on a hot summer night, Wine in the Wilderness is a rarely-seen play from the brilliant mind of Alice Childress, whose Trouble in Mind recently took Broadway by storm. That production’s star, Tony-winner LaChanze, brings her deep connection to Childress’s work to her New York directing debut.
