Synopsis
Sycamore Street is a peaceful street, yet there's an underlying excitement. Joseph Blake, a new man in the neighborhood, is not welcome. His neighbors have decided to force him out. There are a number of reasons why such things happen. In this case, it's because the man once served a brief term in prison. Also, though his daughter is a model student, the neighbors don't want their children to associate with her. They form a mob and plan to march on the Blake house. Only one man, Arthur Hayes, fights an inner battle. In a scene of tremendous power, Blake stands up to the crowd.

Customer Reviews
Ever timely story of prejudices and closed minds. Simply powerful. Tremendous emotional response to our show.
This play was very moving. It gave us a way to explore the issue of prejudice and blind discrimination without making it about race. This was essential because of our school's lack of ethnic diversity.
Hints, Tips, and Tricks
We built a suggestion of the front porch. It worked well. Pacing is everything in this show.
