Synopsis:
The year is 1965 and life at Anna’s Place, a boarding house owned by married couple Anna and Roy, is pretty ordinary until Anna’s father, Baltimore Cotton, moves in and shakes things up. Baltimore is an old wise man, who has an uncanny knack for predicting future events and helping people find the answers to the questions in their lives. In the boarding house, Baltimore shares his wisdom with boarders from all walks of life. However, he has the biggest influence on his impressionable and naïve granddaughter, LuLu. Baltimore gives LuLu a gift that will forever change her life.
“Soothsayer” is directed by Walker and features performances by Rodrikus Springfield as Baltimore Cotton, Alicia Ridley as Anna, Shawn Whitsell as Roy and 92Q’s Fiona as LuLu.. Rounding out the cast is Kamal Bolden, Darius Willis, Yolonda McClain, Jimmie Hill, Elan Crawford and Candy Robins.
