Alma and Eugene have known each other since they were children. As their friendship blossoms into love, Alma struggles to free herself form her mother's poverty and alcoholism, while Eugene must contend with the legacy of being "yellow" - lighter-skinned than his brutal and unforgiving father. Mr. Sternfeld, Artistic Director of Fairmount Performing Arts Conservatory, directs this absorbing two character 2002 Pulitzer Prize nominated drama-runner up to TopDog/UnderDog. Yellowman is an edgy and provocative exploration of intra-racism within the Black community and its unflinching look at its ugly legacy. (Strong adult language and content)
