Redtwist Theatre Presents “Confederates”

Award-winning Redtwist Theatre presents Confederates, January 29 – March 8,by Dominique Morisseau and directed by Aaron Reese Boseman, at Redtwist Theatre, 1044 W. Bryn Mawr Ave. 

Sandra is an accomplished professor, comfortable in her position until a racist cartoon is nailed to her office door; Sara is a slave in the Deep South, fighting for her freedom and spying for the union as the nation is pulled into Civil War. Despite the century between them, both women raise their voice against the institutions of racism and misogyny that hold them back. Dominique Morriseau’s (author of Detroit ’67 and Skeleton Crew) Confederates leaps through time to trace the identities of these two Black American women and the truths that bond them.

The performance schedule is Thursdays – Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3:30 p.m. with a total running time of 90 minutes with no intermission. Single tickets are now on sale for $10 – $60 at RedtwistTheatre.org with discounts available for seniors, students and veterans and pay-what-you-can for all Friday performances.
