In the Midst of Them

Contra Costa College Drama Production is at it again!! A new play "In the Midst of Them," written by Terrence Ivory will be presented on December 1st-9th. Here is some background information about the play:

1940s Kimball, West Virginia… In the midst of them is a black coal miner Harold Mourning, fighting to form a collective labor union in a segregated town. But first he has to overcome rumors of infidelity, murder, and family secrets. Will he be able to lead the strike or become a martyred organizer?

In The Midst of Them, a new play, is inspired by stories from Ivory's grandmother as a coal miner’s daughter. It depicts the way of life in a coal mining town centered around many universal themes: betrayal, escaping reality through alcoholism, wanting to belong, redemption, and the power of forgiveness. The full-length play is not a musical, however, it has original lyrics and a coal miner's cadence. There is an undeniable religious undercurrent throughout the entire play: "For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them"- Matthew 18:20
