This is a very compelling and refreshingly theatrical story about people we don't tend to hear about in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Based on the playwright's own life growing up with a mother who became an activist, COMMITTED is at once important for what it reveals from a historical perspective, but also a story that illuminates the special bond between a mother, who suffers through several personal, physical and political calamities, and her devoted son, who is determined to support and honor her.
