Scripps Ranch Theatre continues Season 44 with "STEW" by Zora Howard, a co-production with Common Ground Theatre and directed by Yolanda Franklin. Mama is up early to prepare an important meal and, even with her family on hand to help, time is running short. Tensions simmer with three generations of Tucker women under one roof, but things come to a boil as the violence hovering around the periphery of their lives begins to intrude. The kitchen becomes a microcosm of the family, a protection from outside traumas with the making of the stew a challenging task (it gets ruined twice) and a group activity needed to keep the family together. (SOME STRONG LANGUAGE) The talented San Diego cast includes Marti Gobel as Mama, Danielle Bunch as Lillian, Jamaelya Hines as Lil’ Mama and Jodi Marks as Nelly. The production runs March 29 - April 21, 2024 on the campus of Alliant International University. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. There will be a preview performance on Friday, March 29.
