Heartache and humor shine in Oakland Theater Project's premiere of A Thousand Ships'
Briefly

"A Thousand Ships is an amusing and touching generation-spanning theatrical experience about two Black women's lives, dreams and the community they built around their Oakland hair salon."
"The story is revealed by talented actors who make us know and identify with their characters... We watch their lives progress through scenes that shift back and forth through time."
"Adeline now has two grown children: a daughter, Oakland police officer Laurel, and a son, community nonprofit leader Mac... despite Laurel's accomplishments, Adeline greatly favors her son Mac, who is wanted by the FBI."
"Out of these crises comes change, love and renewal... the present-day time frame of A Thousand Ships is 2008, on the optimistic eve of President Obama's first election."
