what fits inside a human heart by Erin Malone Turner | Directed by Dee Hunter-Smith & La Hunter Smith
Welcome to The Rain or Shine Bookshop, a Black-owned bookstore/cafe in southern Louisiana run by the no-nonsense Jac since the late 60s. Charm and Ellison are the two longtime friends (more like siblings) who still work there. Peanut is a neighborhood youth and amateur birdwatcher who, like, really loves comics. Ivy is the new goth girl from the Midwest who always says exactly what she means. oh, and the bookstore only has a couple of months to find a new location or close its doors forever. This play is about that first real queer relationship, how the past shapes the present, knowing when to fight & when to fold, and the 90s era death of indie bookstores.
