Get ready Web.jpg

Get Ready is an exploration of the joys and pains that many African American musicians grappled with when music shifted from 1950’s doo-wop into what is now considered mainstream pop + rhythm + blues. The Doves, a fictional group, are well past their heyday but are preparing to “get ready” for their great comeback in hopes of recapturing the bliss of days gone by.

In 1955 Louisiana, tensions arise between a long-standing black family and their new white neighbors over an oak tree steeped in history on the black family's land. This tree, once a site of lynching in the 1800s, holds deep significance for the black family, who gather there every third Sunday to honor their ancestors.

Coconut Cake image 2.jpg

Melda Beaty's play, Coconut Cake, is a “story about friendship, aging, and the unspoken weight men often carry — especially when it comes to the women in their lives and the secrets they keep. These retired men retreat to the sanctuary of their weekly morning gatherings at McDonald's, where a game of chess teaches life lessons.  They talk, laugh, argue, and reminisce as they share pieces of their lives over hash browns and hot coffee when the arrival of a mysterious woman comes to town with her melt-in-your-mouth coconut cake that tests their relationships and changes their lives forever.
