This show raised $1500 for DPI, and we have a matching grant on the table so it actually earned $3000 for us. Standing ovations every night. Thanks to all who worked hard on this show, and for all who came out for a non season benefit show.

Sam and Willie, two middle-aged African men have always been a part of seventeen-year-old Hally's life, bonding despite the color barrier that could have easily separated them. With Hally's tyrannical father on his way home after a stay at hospital, tension runs high and actions are regretted. A story about loyalty, acceptance and the pain involved with breaking the cycle of racism and violence, '"Master Harold"... and the Boys' is a poignant drama highlighting important issues that still exist in today's global society.

(All proceeds from this non-season show benefited the Dayton Playhouse.)
