**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

At a rural high school in Georgia, a group of lively teens are studying The Crucible while navigating young love, sex ed, and a few school scandals. Holding a contemporary lens to the American classic, they begin to question who is really the hero and what is the truth, discovering their own power in the process. Alternately touching and bitingly funny, this new comedy captures a generation in mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury, writing their own coming of age story.

John Proctor is the Villain

Penn State School of Theatre

Grace looks for the good in everything: in her husband’s rules, in the border he patrols, in the return of his estranged son. But a want for goodness cannot unwind the past, as this taut family reunion explodes in all directions. The Chicago premiere of Suzan Lori-Parks’ The Book of Grace is an incendiary family portrait from the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of Topdog/Underdog. Witness this startling reminder that the search for common ground can be bloody and brutal, leaving casualties on every side of the divide.
