| Introduction | SRTC’s mission is to bring the true Southern experience to the Bay Area, "one hush puppy at a time"—from the perspectives of the producers—Susan Jackson, the daughter of a Southern minister and a former Tar Heel, and Diana Brown who was raised by a daughter of Texas and a son of Oklahoma and was baptized in a river at sunset. Our main characters are strong, irrepressible women, facing sudden challenges. (General Sherman, death of a parent, infidelity, etc.) All of the characters in writer, co-producer Jackson’s plays are related by blood or marriage and this family tree is the foundation of our producing calendar, --beginning with HEATHEN, which takes place during the Civil War (a slave and the plantation master fight off General Sherman) and continues to the present day. In addition, the selections of the plays are connected thematically—BLESSINGS—2010, FORGIVENESS—2011, MERCY—2011 (September) and BEHOLDEN-2012. |
