To keep the peace, her man and her job, Terri hires a local cleaning service recommended by a co-worker. But if not careful, she just might find "The Clean Up Woman" picking up more than she's supposed to. JD Lawrence plays seven characters in the play (including a Hindu cab-driver, a 75 year old white man, a rapper, and a stylist). It also stars Emmy award winner Jackée Harry, Telma Hopkins and singer/actor Christopher Williams.
