Six actors, one bed and a series of vignettes revealing all the joyous and tearful living we do around one elemental piece of furniture. This is a memory play… from long ago to the present… in which scenes come lapping over one another connected only by the piece of furniture that inspires them. (3m/3f | 1:45)

The Cold Springs Hotel and Lounge is a place where the color line fades under the charm of silk drapes, cold beer and jazz. It’s run by Cherry Hubbard with help from her Dad and daughter. Three days over three different years are all that’s needed to touch the turmoil that challenges the family and the neighborhood in the late 1950‘s and early 60’s; a pressure cooker that nearly explodes.
