Father Comes Home from the War

May 29th - June 16th.

Hero, an enslaved Texan, is offered a deal - to join his master in the Confederate army with the promise of emancipation if he survives — or to remain with his true love Penny and work the plantation. Creating a new Black American history cycle, Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks changes our perspective on the American Civil War and dramatizes the events leading up to Juneteenth. 

Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks’ “blazingly original” (The Washington Post)
Civil War epic serves up “an American story as much about our present as it is about our past” (The Los Angeles Times).
 Filled with music, wit and poetic wisdom, Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks’ “masterpiece” (New York magazine) challenges us to navigate our own moral compass in a country that both unites and rips us apart.
