The Long Goodbye

Don’t miss this heart-warming tale set in Monticello!

Monticello is a magical town where miracles can and do happen! The Long Goodbye is about one of those miracles. Soon to be a Christmas classic, it’s a story of love, hope, and letting go. For Mrs. Pet, disbelief is the easiest way to deal with the death of her daughter Amy. The tragedy splits up her family, but after years of drifting apart, HOPE COMES in the form of an angelic man, Faith, and a 1955 Chevy brings a new young lady into their lives. It’s going to take a Christmas miracle to help Mrs. Pet find the courage to finally say goodbye and face her new life.

The Long Goodbye is a new play written by local author and Reiser Lab Playwright (at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre) Anthony Lamarr White, and directed by FAMU Assistant Theatre Professor Evelyn D. Tyler. The Long Goodbye was chosen for the 2017 National Black Theatre Festival Readers Theatre of New Works. It is presented in partnership with Antmar Entertainment.
