Attic Grace
TSU Theatre presents the World Premiere of Attic Grace, a play by Distinguished Professor of Theatre, Elizabeth Brown-Guillory, directed by Distinguished Theatre Alum, Errol Anthony Wilks.
About the Play
Attic Grace explores the deep and lasting bonds shared between life-long friends who know each other too well as they stumble from platonic certainty into romantic uncertainty. Set in an attic, filled with dust, memory, and possibility, the inseparable friends come to recognize that it is by grace that they can find healing and the courage to step forward together.
