Returning The Bones (RTB)

How do you choose between your country, your people, and yourself? This is the question RETURNING THE BONES asks. It is based on the true story of the African American doctor, Carolyn Beatrice Montier, (aka "Bebe") now 84. After being invited to finish her medical degree in Europe shortly after WWII, Bebe has to choose between staying in the South (and continuing to risk her life in the fight for Civil Rights), or escaping to Paris to live a life she's always dreamed of.

RETURNING THE BONES is a solo show with 28 characters and multiple dialects performed by Helen Hayes Award-winner, Gin Hammond. Classic storytelling combined with a fluid physical style will bring you on a journey of many miles, perspectives, and epiphanies.
