Court Theatre presents East Texas Hot Links, a poignant drama written by Eugene Lee and directed by Ron OJ Parson. Set in 1955 East Texas, the story unfolds in the Top O’ the Hill Café, a refuge for locals navigating tense racial dynamics, until an ominous event disrupts their sanctuary. The cast features notable performances by Willie B. as Adolph, David Dowd as Delmus Green, and AnJi White as Charlesetta Simpkins, among others. This production marks a significant homecoming, celebrating both the play’s legacy and Parson’s impactful connection to its history and themes.
