'the ripple, the wave that carried me home' Sweeps into Luna Stage
*Disclaimer*: Performances of 'the ripple, the wave that carried me home' will now begin on May 4th, instead of May 1st.
Written by Tony-nominated playwright Christina Anderson, "the ripple, the wave that carried me home," is a moving exploration of a family’s response to injustice and a daughter’s reckoning with her political inheritance.
Straddling the decades of Janice's family life, we see that her childhood was steeped in her parents’ activism as they fought for the integration of public swimming pools in 1960’s Kansas and taught scores of Black children to swim. But Janice later steps away from her parents’ politics and starts her own life and family far away—until one day, she is invited to speak at a ceremony honoring her father.
Jersey Arts speaks with the cast about this authentic and riveting show.
