The play deals with male/ female relationships, the religion of a root maker, and many other issues facing African Americans at [that time. Thomas Ellis, al ifessor in the Theatre 'Arts department, and director of the play, chose the Wilson play because he had done a lot of writing on Wilson and wanted Fresno State to be one of the first university campuses to a Wilson play. Two years ago Wilson gave universities , the right to put his. plays in produc¬ tion. Finding interested males for the leading roles was not an easy task. Ellis is in the process of hiring a professional actor from New York to play the lead role of Seth, the owner of the boarder house.

Ellis figures that, "if they are interested they will come to the auditions." The idea of recruiting actors isn't one that appeals to him.
