A more perfect union

Article Abstract:

Union County, South Carolina, turned to theater to heal itself. The area is known for being a place where slaves used to congregate in secret. It is also the home of Susan Smith, who drowned her children in 1994. And the area has been impacted by the collapse of the textile industry. Union County hired Chicago-based Community Performance Inc. to help it develop a play. The article discusses those efforts. The play is called Turn the Washpot Down.
