(or The Exhumation of MC Spice) explores how a first-generation daughter of Caribbean immigrants growing up in 1980s East New York, Brooklyn, can embody her truest self, conquer her demons of self-doubt, and strive to achieve some of her wildest dreams. Part of New York Theatre Workshop's 28th annual summer residency at Dartmouth.
