In MADE IN HEAVEN, each person is matched for all time to their one true love. Only problem is, some folks don’t much like the match, like Faye (Mrs. Eugene) McBride of Montgomery, Alabama. A traditional, white woman, she discovers that God matched her to Henry, her gardener of many years. Her Black gardener. It’s up to God’s “assistant,” Marie Louise Benson to prove to Faye that God’s matches are never mistaken.
The play will be followed by an optional, interactive talkback with the actors, director, and playwright along with a panel of community leaders. These Cape community representatives include Fred Biddle, actor from Provincetown; Rev. Margot Critchfield, Episcopal priest and former TV news producer; Sallie Tighe, actor and active member of Artpeace; and Daniela Gil Veras, Sandwich High Class of 2020 graduate, musician, and theater student who along with several classmates raised the issues of racism and bias in the schools and curriculum with the Superintendent. Discussion will focus on playwrighting and performance in the age of coronavirus. Additional topics will include the role theater might play in anti-racist work, and how white privilege influences the arts.
