Them: “How’s your grandma?”
Sid: “Which one?”
Them: “Ms. Edwards!”
Sid: “WHICH ONE?!”
It’s the early 2000s and Ms. Edwards (all of them) works at Seaboard Coates Elementary School in rural North Carolina. Young Sidney sits at the meeting of two Edwards families, linked by marriage. Everywhere she looks there’s a “Ms. Edwards” to be found… all different from one another… and she wants to be like all of them. Luckily for Sidney, each Edwards woman is an educator in her own right. School is in session, y’all! And Sidney has a lot to learn about family, community, and faith.
Through humor, storytelling, and powerful character work, Sidney brings to life the relentless women whose experiences shaped the fabric of her own identity. Ms. Edwards is a personal and dynamic one-woman show about Sidney Edwards and the women that taught her how to love.
