In 1968, George buys a suburban Southern California home—a stop on his way to something bigger—and hires Audrey as a housekeeper. In 1991, Robert is still living there, itching to start his own life. Thirty years later, Joseph returns home, still struggling with a secret that holds him back. With humor and heart, this multigenerational drama revolves around three Black men, their journeys to choose love and the woman who holds them all together.

 Historic French Park Residential Architecture Tour - Santa Ana
Saturday, May 9, 2026
910 am - 12:30 pm
French Park is one of Santa Ana’s oldest neighborhoods and is one of two historic districts in Santa Ana on the National Register of Historic Places. (The other is Floral Park.) Tour-goers will enjoy seeing several large intact "Painted Ladies," brightly painted houses designed in the Queen Anne style from the 1890s, the district's earliest period of development, as well as an assortment of Eclectic and Period Revival residences from the first decades of the 20th century. Learn about the history of the neighborhood and the grass-roots preservation advocacy that protects it and there’s usually an opportunity to get up close… we’re normally invited to view the interiors of a couple of landmarked houses!
Members of Preserve Orange County receive a discount on tour tickets and we are now offering a 4-pack for 10% off the price of four tickets. Tickets are purchased through Eventbrite by clicking the box below.
