This show is the third installment of a series that SANKOFA African American Theatre and Gamut Theatre Group have been partnering on for nearly ten years. This particular show was about the community effort, led by SOAL (Saving Our Ancestor's Legacy), in Harrisburg, PA, to renovate the Lincoln Cemetary, Harrisburg's only remaining black cemetary that has been in disrepair for decades due to neglect from the city and community. The set, designed by Michael Bush, was intended to recreate the Lincoln Cemetary on the Gamut Stage. To protect the base set that Gamut likes to maintain, I built facades to sit in front of upstage walls that could be painted to look like the cemetary. We were allowed to paint the stairs and even added little fence like structures to recreate the fence around the cemetary. Most of the graves on the set were modelled after their real life counterparts, and all of them have the names of real people who were buried in Lincoln Cemetary. Even the shed was modelled after the real shed in the cemetary. The "dirt boxes" on the edges of the stage were built using rubber mulch and canvas that was stretched over a wooden structure that was built to sit on the steps leading up to the stage. Actors could dig up gravestones in them.
