Join us in February for “Wrestling with Freedom”

Three powerful one-act plays written and directed by Jacqui Parker, Wrestling with Freedom connects African-American history to the country’s present predicament. In play one, the audience is transported to the 18th century and meets Phillis Wheatley and her friend Obour Tanner. Play two is set in the 19th century with Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass and John Brown, just before the raid on Harper’s Ferry. In play three, set three years in the future in 2020, a modern-day civil war is looming.
