CONFEDERATES

A LOS ANGELES PREMIERE

BY DOMINIQUE MORISSEAU

DIRECTED BY RAYMOND O. CALDWELL

OCTOBER 30 - DECEMBER 13 2026

Two Black women. Two eras. One fight to claim their own power.

Sara is an enslaved woman who becomes a Union spy during the Civil War. Sandra is a tenured political science professor at a prestigious university today. More than 150 years separate their lives, but the forces they navigate around race, gender, power, and institutional betrayal prove disturbingly familiar.

Moving between past and present with biting humor and theatrical ingenuity, acclaimed playwright Dominique Morisseau (Skeleton Crew, Paradise Blue) connects these two women across generations as each must decide whom she can trust, what she's willing to risk, and how to take control of her own story.

The Los Angeles premiere of Confederates is a funny, fearless and provocative examination of American institutions, Black womanhood, and the battles we're still fighting.
