Flesh and Bone
Flesh and Bone – Thomas and Puddin: Gregg Daniel and Alisa Peoples as “Thomas” and “Puddin”.

This heartwarming contemporary film is set in a fictitious South Dallas haunt called Blues Jook and Chicken and centers on “Thomas Wescott”, an elderly Black man who on the anniversary of his daughter’s death undergoes an awakening by the sight of the jook joint’s newest employee, “Rachel”, whom he believes is his daughter.

The colorful characters of Blues – including the owners “Puddin” and “Abe”, a musician, “Weeping Willy” and the dependable server, “Vaughn” must rally together to help Tom, who is an alcoholic and street poet, through his trauma and grief.

Soul Rep’s dynamic 2021-2022 season is sponsored in part by the generous support of Texas Instruments, City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs, Heritage Giving Fund, Moody Fund for the Arts, TACA and The March Family Foundation.
