When Raskin's, a classic Brooklyn restaurant and neighborhood anchor, is sold to developers, owner Ira (Jordan Gelber) leaves it to manager Arthur (Stephen McKinley Henderson) to inform the staff.
The ensemble cast ranges from playing waiters and kitchen staff staff to a representative of the developer to a curbside Black rights prophet to others in the 'hood who will be affected by this serious change in their lives.
Cast members include: Steve Axelrod, Bridget Barkan, Ron Ben Israel, David Brummel, Reg E. Cathey, Billoah Greene, and Ramon Fernandez.
An interesting study of what community means.
Written and directed by Jim McKay.
