The Guthrie is proud to present Full Circle Theater’s world premiere production of Under This Roof, by longtime Twin Cities actor and theater artist Barbara Kingsley. Directed by award-winning actor/director James A. Williams, Under This Roof centers on Mamie and Raymond Warren, who live in the segregated black neighborhood of central Cleveland in the late 1940s. After Raymond suffers a serious accident, Mamie hires a white woman named Bessie, whose arrival brings new challenges. Under this Roof examines issues that resonate with today’s realities: race, gender, aging, power, family, disability and love, on an ever-shifting axis, with unexpected results that are comic, painful and healing.
