"This will be an extremely hilarious evening of comedy," said Lafyy Hamlin, the founder of the repertory company. "It will be thoroughly entertaining and at the same time give a message." "A Day of Absence" is about a small southern town, where the white* people wake up one morning to find that all the black people are missing. The white people go into hysterics because they fear they may have to do the work that the black people were doing. It is the disaster of the century because no one can find the blacks. At the end, when the first black is seen,*the whites are elated that "they're" back. "The play shows what an important part black people play in this country," Hamlin said. "In a great many ways we most surely, certainly, would be missed if we all left." "Old Judge Mose" is also set in a small souther* town. It is about two blacks who go to work in a local funeral parlor. They take the job of washing and waxing floors for $2 an hour. In the funeral parlor is the body o\ Old Judge Mose who sentenced one of the blacks to 9( days in jail for a crime he didn't commit. The blacki seize the opportunity to let the Judge know how the] feel about him* l The production will also feature at least nine local performers.
