Bill is sheltering in his apartment during the Harlem riots of July 1964 when his friends burst in for refuge, bringing a woman they want him to meet. He’s a painter, looking for a model to finish a series on Black womanhood, and she might be the answer he needs. But Tomorrow “Tommy” Marie isn’t quite who Bill assumes she is. As their borough burns, Tommy and Bill flirt, butt heads, and end up wrestling with class, colorism, and worth. A rediscovered classic by the trailblazing Black playwright Alice Childress, directed by Studio favorite Psalmayene 24 (The Colored MuseumPurlie Victorious).
