The Undertow at Triskelion Arts

A new play about identity politics. Mrs. Tammy James, a high school guidance counselor, is approached in her office by a feminist student, Devon. Devon has taken issue with an earlier classroom incident, between an older male teacher and a muscular jock. But Mrs. James, a black woman, isn't as responsive to Devon's views on race and sex as she'd like her to be. What follows is a conversational tug-of-war, with one side demanding resentment, and the other just wanting to call the path her own. Starring Meredith A. Watson and Michelle Scarr.
