Janice’s parents are prominent activists fighting for the integration of public swimming pools in 1960s Kansas — a struggle that penetrates the warm bubble of her childhood, driving a wedge between Janice and her family. Years later, when she’s asked to speak at a ceremony honoring her father, she must decide whether she’s ready to reckon with her political inheritance and the scars of a past she has tried to forget. A piercing, theatrically vivid story about the personal toll of fighting for justice, and the ultimate challenge of forgiveness.
