**Location:** New York, Venue TBA  
**Directed by:** Steve H. Broadnax III  
**Playwright:** Suzan-Lori Parks  
**In Association with:** The Guthrie Theater  

Join us for the New York premiere of "Sally & Tom," a groundbreaking dramedy by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. This edgy production, directed by Steve H. Broadnax III and presented in association with The Guthrie Theater, delves into the complex narratives of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson through the lens of an off-off-off-Broadway theater troupe, Good Company. 

"Sally & Tom" is not just a play; it's a reflection on art, politics, and the inherent contradictions that define us. The story unfolds as Luce, the writer, takes on the role of Sally, and her romantic partner, Mike, who is also the director, portrays Tom. As the troupe navigates the challenges of bringing such a charged historical relationship to the stage, the audience is invited to explore the nuances of history, the craft of theater, and the personal dynamics that influence both.

Sally & Tom

The Public Theater

Oakland in 1967 is a powder keg of social activism ready to boil over into radical action. For the patrons of Miss Trish’s bar, it’s all just talking points — until the explosive and seductive force of the revolution walks through the door. History and imagination collide with vibrant humor and echo into our present moment in this stirring new play from Tori Sampson (NYT Critic’s Pick If Pretty Hurts, Ugly Must Be A Muhfucka) and directed by LPTW Lucille Lortel Award and 2023 Obie Award winner Taylor Reynolds (Tambo and Bones).

This Land Was Made

Vineyard Theatre

On March 13, 2020, as theaters shut their doors and so many of us went into lockdown, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and The Public’s Writer-in-Residence Suzan-Lori Parks picked up her pen and her guitar and set out to write a play every day. What emerged is a breathtaking anthology of plays and songs that chronicle our collective experience and the hope and perseverance that occurred throughout that troubling year.
