 MILWAUKEE — Crumbs from the Table of Joy will be presented by ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Theatre starting Friday, Nov. 8, through Sunday, Nov. 17, at Evan P. and Marion Helfaer Theatre, 1304 W. Clybourn St.

This story by a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright addresses issues of grief, racism and the politics of immigration in a moving coming-of-age story. In 1950, a widowed father transplants his two young daughters out of the deep South to Brooklyn, New York, in his search for salvation. The girls are exposed to the escalating tension between a conservative father and a free-spirited aunt. In the end, young Ernestine finds the courage to seek out her dreams in this inspiring tale.

The show will run:

·       Nov. 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16 at 7:30 p.m.
·       Nov. 10 and 17 at 2:30 p.m.
