Five women, an African statue, and a missionary walk into an old house in Detroit … What’s not to love about In the Forest of Detroit, Santa Barbara playwright Ellen K. Anderson’s second love letter to the Motor City?
When Grandma Trudy planted gingko trees in her forgotten neighborhood, she cast both a charm and a curse encircling the abandoned home where her daughter now hides with a mysterious statue stolen from the Detroit Institute of Arts. Join three generations of women as they revel in the power of redemption, art, and laughter that rises from the rubble surrounding them.
