About This Show

Featuring Justine Hall, Kevis Hillocks, Erin Margaret Pettigrew, and Jarvis Tomdio, Roots is centered on a fictional college professor of English, Bro. MoreCourage, who has been promoted to Department Chair at a prestigious university. His celebration dinner is attended by characters from fiction and history who offer a perspective on the intersection between success and tragedy. Bro. MoreCourage, like his unsung dinner guests, suffers loss to achieve upward mobility. But to maintain his security, he chooses to adopt the traits of an oppressive system that his guests confront.
