Greed, corruption, and Jim Crow intertwine in the tense thriller East Texas Hot Links. It's 1955 in the piney woods of East Texas, and Charlesetta's Top O' the Hill Cafe is one of the only public places where Black locals can gather for comfort, solace, and companionship. In a community dominated by the Ku Klux Klan, young Black men have begun disappearing and turning up dead. One hot summer night, the patrons of the Top O' the Hill must join forces to protect one of their own. When danger comes knocking, the unthinkable happens, with dire consequences for all involved. Both riveting mystery and a compelling character study reminiscent of The Twilight Zone, East Texas Hot Links is coming to the stage at Fulton County's South West Arts Center this July.

Eugene Lee Brings EAST TEXAS HOT LINKS To Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre Company

June 28, 2019

Outgoing Artistic Director Kenny Leon and Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre Company are thrilled to present Eugene Lee's East Texas Hot Links from July 16 to August 11, 2019. A few years after this play was originally produced in the early nineties, the nation was shocked by the brutal lynching of James Byrd, Jr. in Jasper, TX, a small East Texas town. The play itself is set in 1955, but the story continues to resonate as playwright Lee explores how we, as humans, feed off of each other as links in the food chain.
