A University of Michigan-Flint Department of Theatre & Dance production. January 2016.
Annie and Peter decide to adopt, setting their sights on a child from Africa. But, when they receive surprising news from the adoption agency, their marriage is put to the test, secrets of the past are exposed, and this couple approaching midlife is left with an unexpected choice. Politically charged, funny and tack-sharp, The Call is a startling portrait of cultural divide, casting global issues into the heart of an American home.
“Andrew Morton has taken on an interesting challenge with The Call. It raises issues of race relations, gay marriage, and insidiously, white privilege. It explores the definition of marriage from a variety of viewpoints considering such aspects as just what constitutes a marriage and its completeness.” - Kathleen Kirby, Flint Area Theatres.
