Golden
by Andrew Lee Creech

In the middle of the Great Recession, Morris Golden fights to save his marriage and keep the bank from foreclosing on his house.

He might be able to pull it off – if he could just get this stubborn magical change machine to work in his laundromat, the Golden Coin Wash’n’Dry.

Golden (formerly titled When We Rise ) paints a vulnerable portrait of how we recover from devastating events, maintain hope during hopeless times and fight to connect with one another in order to survive in a world in crisis.

This play is part of a planned nine-play, multi-century-spanning cycle exploring the lives of Black Americans during pivotal moments of American history.
