Crumbs from the Table of Joy is the story of a newly transplanted family struggling to rediscover themselves in 1950's Brooklyn. Godfrey Crump, newly widowed, has taken his family north in an effort to replace grief with the Divine. Instead, the Crumps find themselves surrounded by new questions, a new religion and new politics. As routines begin to form, Lily Green arrives to aid in the raising of Godfrey's two daughters and shakes things up with talk of communism, sexual freedom and a racial revolution.

Jessica Ludd as Ermina
