CofC Stages, housed in the Department of Theatre and Dance, presents this play as the 2024-2025 "Old is New Again" season opener in the new Simons Center Black Box Theatre and as part of Charleston's Moja Arts Festival 40th year.

Optimistic and strong, young Cephus Miles is content to work the land on the small North Carolina farm he inherited from his family. When his childhood sweetheart rejects him and goes off to college, he moves north, finding a new job and a new girlfriend. But soon the dream begins to fade. This brilliantly inventive, lyrically expressive play deals joyfully with the coming of age in the mid-20th century.
