"The Will,"
written by CMU Emeritus Professor of English Sandra Seaton , portrays the life of an African American family in a small town in
Tennessee after the Civil War. The play offers both a dramatization
of the experience of African Americans during Reconstruction and an
interpretation of African American culture that brings out the place
of classical music in African American history and life.
