‘Confederates’ Review: Slave Play

Confederates renders a frank, witty, and delightfully twisted exploration of racial biases, be they unconscious or firmly resolved.The play, directed by Stori Ayers in a riveting new production at Mosaic, derives some suspense from the anticipation that its parallel plotlines might connect. But whether or not the individual stories of embattled college professor Sandra (Nikkole Salter) and enslaved rebel Sara (Deidre Staples) actually meet, their experiences as Black women, though separated by centuries, are still intertwined.Even Nadir Bey’s evocative set design suggests as much, combining Sandra’s office and Sara’s plantation cabin within the same space.

Mosaic Theater’s Reginald L. Douglas is Leading with Joy

Monumental Travesties, written by playwright-in-residence Psalmayene 24.“My thought was we would go to the rehearsal room, show you that,” he says, leading me through a maze of hallways, and up a stairway to the second floor. “And then meet Psalm and everybody, and then we could sneak peek into the theater.”Douglas is directing Monumental Travesties, a sharp, D.C.-set comedy centered around a Black performance artist’s radical response to the Emancipation Memorial, that statue of Lincoln lording over a formerly enslaved man on his knees erected nearly 150 years ago in Capitol Hill’s Lincoln Park.Featuring Renee Elizabeth Wilson, Jonathan Feuer, and Louis E.

Playwright Dominique Morisseau Wants To 'Dismantle' Broadway

Broadway. “I want visibility for Black theater makers and the Black folks who’ve been doing this work,” the actress and award-winning playwright told ESSENCE. Morriseau does the work by connecting national conversations about globalization, academic discrimination, and rampant gentrification to everyday moments, like clocking in for a shift or covering for a colleague, on stage.Before inspiring patrons to flock to Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations she created productions including Follow me to Nellie’s (Premiere Stages 2011), Sunset Baby (LAByrinth Theatre 2013), Blood at the Root (National Black Theatre 2014), Pipeline (Lincoln Center Theatre 2017), and Paradise Blue (Signature Theatre 2018).

‘Skeleton Crew’ Star Phylicia Rashad on Broadway’s Return: ‘Mastery Continues, and Theater Artists and Audiences Are Grateful for This’

Michael Appler On Broadway Wednesday evening, “Skeleton Crew,” the final of seven new plays written by Black playwrights to make its debut this season, opened to an intimate crowd at the Manhattan Theatre Club’s Friedman Theatre. The show was embraced by an audience that included Danielle Brooks, Denée Benton and La Chanze but stripped, like the factory it depicts, of the usual pomp and circumstance of a flashy Broadway opening.“Skeleton Crew,” the third work in Dominique Morisseau’s trilogy of Detroit-based plays, finds five workers at a Michigan auto factory — dogged by a corroding city around them, the unfeeling unpredictability of their employers and the looming devastation of joblessness as their workplace, the last of the city’s independent auto factories, inevitably closes.

‘Skeleton Crew’ Broadway Review: Phylicia Rashad Leads Powerful Drama Of Factory Life

In the most cramped of times – days as economically and emotionally pinched as the ones we’re living through now, and the ones we survived (or didn’t) in 2008 – theater can remind us of, or point the way to, some sense of emotional generosity, of expansive spirit, of connection. Dominique Morisseau’s Skeleton Crew does all that and more, finding hope in the unlikeliest of places, like a cluttered, ramshackle break room of a noisy, about-to-fail factory in an about-to-fail city like Detroit.

That’s a lot, Chad!'” But, she added, he was right: “My job as an artist is to just be prolific.
