Overview

"A 'Coming of Age' story between a Father and Son. This One-Act Play takes place in 1989: A young man named Greg, 18 years old, has just returned home to San Francisco from his first Semester in College in Southern California. His father, ""Pops"", 45 years old, is picking him up from the Airport to take him to his Mother's house, where Greg will be staying for the first time during his Winter Break Vacation, instead of with his Father. Pops and his ex-wife, Roxanne have been divorced for 10 years, and Greg has been raised by ""Pops"" as a single parent since their tumultuous marriage and bitter divorce. Struggling economically as a Cab Driver, Pops has bitter resentment towards his ex-wife, Roxanne, Greg's Mother, who's doing well very in her life. Greg's new interest to reconnect and rebuild a relationship with his mother after all these years does not sit well with Pops as he's driving his son, ""Baby G"" to his mother's house. Jason Jerone Powell tells this heart-wrenching story through the guise of a One-Act Drama in which he bravely explores his own past experience as a teen adult, struggling to earn his father's respect, while trying to reconnect with his mother. Powell cleverly tackles sensitive issues in this play, such as divorce, abuse, systemic disparity, and a Father and son's relationship. He currently resides in Hollywood, California, where he teaches English and Theatre Arts at the world famous Hollywood High School. He holds a BA Degree in Theatre Arts from CSU, Fullerton and a Master's Degree (MFA) in Dramatic Arts from the New School in New York under the Actors Studio. He's a life-long member of the Actors Studio. His two teens, Lehar and August, and their mother, Rahel, have been a source of inspiration for this piece of work."
