Play Tackles Race
and Adoption
Clackamas Repertory Theatre
presents “The Call,” a play about
a white American couple who de-
cides to adopt a baby from Africa.
Their friends (a black lesbian cou-
ple) are all for it, vowing to help
adapt the child to the American
way of life.
Initially the gesture seems
compassionate, but as the con-
cept becomes closer to reality, the
questions and concerns it raises
stir in a mix of racial and domestic
tensions and anxieties as these two
widely different worlds collide.
