About the play: Louise Evans, a three-time widow, raises peacocks on her front porch. During the neighborhood's summer parade, Louise and her birds are visited by a mysterious young woman—is she a spirit? a figment of Louise’s imagination? A tight-knit community of Black folks grapple with their past.
