Marin Theatre presents Sally &Tom

Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks sets the stage with an up-and-coming theatre company rehearsing a play about Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. As opening night approaches, playwright Luce is struggling with rewrites and pressure from a producer about how to frame the relationship between the third president and the woman he enslaved. Luce also stars as Sally, while Tom is played by Mike, her romantic partner and the production’s director. The past and present collide in this electrifying exploration of artistic authenticity, history, power, and truth. Executive Artistic Director Lance Gardner makes his Marin Theatre directorial debut with this west coast premier.

This play is recommended for ages 14 and up. Please be advised this production contains profanity, racial slurs, sexual content, and references to rape and suicide.
