Oak & Ivy

Oak and Ivy, Powerful New Drama, Opens Promising New Season For Vineyard Playhouse

IF THE INITIAL PRODUCTION at the Vineyard Playhouse is any indication of what the theatre-goer might expect this season, a great summer is in store. Oak and Ivy, written by Kathleen McGhee-Anderson, is an incredible presentation that provides the audience with a journey into the magical world of theatre that is nothing short of spectacular.

The life and love of Paul Laurence Dunbar and his wife, the former Alice Ruth Moore, unfolds in such a way that one immediately becomes a part of their world, sharing their love, their sorrows, their joys, their disappointments. Kudos must be given not only to the actor, Mario van Peebles, who plays the role of Dunbar, and also to Rayme Cornell, his wife.
