Fresh off its "Best Overall Production" win at the Atlanta Black Theatre Festival, "Summer Breeze" returns to Nashville for two shows only. “Summer Breeze” is a drama set in the 1960s at an exclusive all-Black resort. Rose, a widowed mother, faces a make-or-break summer for her heavily mortgaged resort. As financial pressures mount, her eldest daughter, Alice, finds herself torn between pursuing her own dreams and supporting her mother's struggle to keep the family business afloat. Complicating matters is Alice’s younger, spoiled sister, whose carefree attitude clashes with the family's dire circumstances. The resort's pivotal opening weekend brings a whirlwind of emotions as Rose's former best friend arrives with her husband - who happens to be Rose's ex-boyfriend – their son, and a mysterious stranger. Amidst this charged atmosphere, this compelling play explores themes of friendship, love, sibling rivalry, and resilience in the face of adversity.
