Starting in 1850, the play follows many generations of a family created by the joining of a full blooded Cherokee gentleman and a British immigrant looking to escape her family’s selfishly ambitious past.

A Permanent Image
by Samuel D. Hunter
Siblings Bo and Ally are back in their childhood home in Idaho for the funeral of their father. Their mother Carol has painted the whole house white and is suspected to have been drinking since their father's death.
