CONFEDERATES by Dominique Morisseau
A Florida Premiere

Two Black American women – an enslaved rebel and a professor at a contemporary university – are having parallel experiences of institutional racism, though they live over a century apart. This exacting new play, which premiered Off-Broadway in 2022, comedically explores the reins that racial and gender bias still hold over American educational systems today.
