Tony nominee Dominique Morisseau's Confederates officially opened March 27 at The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre at The Pershing Square Signature Center. The play, a production of Signature Theatre, is scheduled to run through April 10. Previews began March 8 after a postponement from February 22 due to COVID-related scheduling conflicts.
The play dives into institutional racism through the parallel experiences of two women living more than a century apart: Sara, an enslaved rebel turned Union spy, and Sandra, a tenured professor in a modern-day private university.
Starring is Elijah Jones (Richard II) as Abner/Malik, Kristolyn Lloyd (Dear Evan Hansen) as Sara, Andrea Patterson (cullud wattah) as LuAnne/Jade, Kenzie Ross (Blood at the Root) as Missy Sue/Candice, and Michelle Wilson (The House That Will Not Stand) as Sandra.
