McNeil Productions' mission is to produce plays dealing with African-American cultural and community issues that speak to their audience's experiences. They also nurture up-and-coming actors, directors, designers and technicians of color. The play Chain, written by Pearle Cleage and starring Melissa R. Jones as Rosa Jenkins, is a brutally honest exploration of drug addiction, family, religion, and personal salvation about a woman fighting to escape her life. It will show on February 8-9, 2008 at the 411 Space in New York City.
