"Six Triple Eight"
by Mary McCallum

Set during World War II as the first African-American female battalion arrives in Europe, this historical fiction play follows members of the 6888th Central Postal Battalion. Among them are Sammy, a young woman seeking adventure and romance; Cleopatra, a famous actress; Paige, a single mother trying to create a better life for her son; and Sadie, a woman with  “second-sight”, who can see the future of others but keeps secrets of her own. Under the direction of Major Clarissa Dixon, they are faced with a seemingly impossible task to distribute 7 million pieces of undelivered mail to the soldiers in three months.
