A new play by Elaine Savory 
Directed by MJ Bruder Munafo
Commissioned by MV Playhouse

To achieve her goal to become a significant American artist, Lois Maïlou Jones had to battle racism, sexism and the conditions of the art market at home. Her mother, her Haitian husband and her French friend gave her a secure base where she could strategize successes, cope with defeats and embrace the making of her unique work.
