Hub City is pleased to announce the publication of Two South Carolina Plays by Jon Tuttle, playwright in resident at Trustus Theatre in Columbia, S.C. This volume includes two of his plays-with accompanying essays by eminent local historians-that recall moments in South Carolina's forgotten past.  The White Problem gives voice to Richard Greener, the first African-American professor at the University of South Carolina, and Holy Ghost explores the strange racial and political dynamics in a lowcountry POW camp during World War II.

"In these two thoughtful plays, Jon Tuttle has captured one of the central themes of South Carolina history-the interaction of blacks and whites. Like the dramatists of ancient Greece, he has us come face to face with moral dilemmas in our society. The resulting denouement in both plays is absolutely riveting," said Walter Edgar, author of South Carolina: A History

Tuttle is Professor of English at Francis Marion University He has received the South Carolina Theatre Association's Founder's Award and fellowships from the South Carolina Arts Commission and the South Carolina Academy of Authors. His other published plays include The Hammerstone and Terminal Café (Dramatists Play Service), A Fish Story (Samuel French, Inc.), and Drift and Sonata for Armadillos (Playscripts, Inc.). He and his wife, Cheryl, live in Florence, South Carolina, and are the very proud parents of Staci, Jill, and Josh.
