Synopsis
Sycamore Street is a peaceful street, yet there's an underlying excitement. Joseph Blake, a new man in the neighborhood, is not welcome. His neighbors have decided to force him out. There are a number of reasons why such things happen. In this case, it's because the man once served a brief term in prison. Also, though his daughter is a model student, the neighbors don't want their children to associate with her. They form a mob and plan to march on the Blake house. Only one man, Arthur Hayes, fights an inner battle. In a scene of tremendous power, Blake stands up to the crowd.

Customer Reviews
- "A wonderful story of moral courage and compassion. Enough humor to break the tension and enough tension to keep the show moving."
- Review by Paula Myers, WHS Theater, Waxahachie, Texas
- "Ever timely story of prejudices and closed minds. Simply powerful. Tremendous emotional response to our show."
- Review by Stephan Kiszely, Bailiwick Players, Elkhart Lake, Wis.
- "This play was very moving. It gave us a way to explore the issue of prejudice and blind discrimination without making it about race. This was essential because of our school's lack of ethnic diversity."
- Review by Angelo Carter, Philo High School, Philo, Ohio
