Steal Away is a delightful down home comedy set in Chicago during the Depression. It is the story of five upstanding church ladies who raise funds to send young Black women to college by holding bake sales and the like. Their latest beneficiary, Ms. Tracyada, has more ambitious ideas. She wants them all to rob a bank! Of course, the ladies are reluctant to do anything that drastic; but when they are turned down at the bank for a loan to send another young woman to college because the White bank manager doesn’t think “colored girls” need an education, the ladies decide to join in Tracyada’s scheme. Incredibly enough, the ladies manage to pull off the robbery. Come to Karamu and see our “church ladies” in action!
