Regional Premiere

Truthful. Transcendent. Taut.

Brilliant writer, Dominique Morisseau, who wrote Detroit ‘67, Skeleton Crew, and Ain’t too Proud, comes back to the Curious stage with her latest work. Morisseau is a master at weaving together personal, historical, and social narratives, and this show is considered her most ambitious yet. This visionary play explores institutional racism through the dual lenses of Sara, an enslaved rebel turned Union spy, and Sandra, a tenured professor in a modern-day private university. The regional premiere that leaps through time to trace the stories of these two Black American women has been called “luminous,” “engrossing,” and “surprisingly funny.” Confederates will be directed by Marisa D. Herbert.

The digital playbill will be published 1 day prior to previews! Check back soon!
