POPULAR HIT PLAY COMES TO QUEENS
With a powerful multi-generational cast, DINNER AT GRANDMA'S tells the story of a young girl growing up in a small American town called Cross, South Carolina during the turbulent sixties and seventies. It is a time of radical change in America, and the United States has just gone to war in Vietnam. Patriotism is running high, but most blacks throughout the country had little reason to celebrate due to the persistence of racism and discrimination in every arena from health care to housing to employment. As the play progresses, the audience learns more about the life of Grandma Gracie Riley and her effect on her granddaughter as well as her entire community. The score includes the world-changing civil rights songs of the movement, and the power of gospel music around the "meeting place" - Grandma's dinner table.

Broadway veteran JAMES STOVAL (Ragtime, Sweet Charity, The Life, Once On This Island) will be special guest hosts for the production.
