Our Own ProductionS presents
 Periphery
by Ed Simpson
Directed by Doreen Watson


 The February 1960 sit-in by four young college freshmen at the Woolworth's
lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina galvanized the civil rights
movement in the United States.  In the process, ordinary citizens from both
the black and white communities in Greensboro--and across America--were
forced to grapple with their beliefs about race and justice.  Utilizing
both dramatic and comic scenes, monologues, and dramatized news reports,
Periphery focuses on ordinary citizens--particularly two families, one
black and one white--whose lives are touched by the changing world around
them.  The central stories in Periphery are not those of the courageous
"Greensboro Four" but instead include those who stand witness to the
historic events in this Southern city--those on the periphery of the sit-in
demonstration--who must choose between continuing the injustices of the
past or moving forward toward a more just America.
