On February 6, 2006, people began lining up at dawn outside of Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church to pay their respects to the late Mrs. Coretta Scott King, widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose body lay in state in the small sanctuary. By mid-morning, the crowd wound down the street and around the corner of the old red brick building. At close to midnight, the crowd had dwindled to a determined few. The five fictional characters in this play are at the end of that long line.
A Song for Coretta is a sharp, funny play featuring Helen, a stuffy, old guard Civil Rights activist; Mona Lisa, a jovial but canny artist and Hurricane Katrina survivor; Zora, an enthusiastic Spelman student; Gwen, a U.S. soldier on leave from the war in Iraq, and Keisha, aka "Li'l Bit," a hilariously brash and uncouth high schooler.
