Cast Set for SALLY & TOM Regional Premiere at Zach Theater
Sally & Tom will star Angelique Archer as Luce/Sally; Jonathan Flippo as Mike/Tom, plus more.
Zach Theater has revealed the cast and creatives for the regional premiere of Sally & Tom, a new play by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. Directed by Producing Artistic Director Dave Steakley, Sally & Tom is a sharp, funny and fearless American dramedy, playing July 22–August 23, 2026 at The Kleberg at Zach.
The hallmark of the current season is the regional premiere of the new play Sally & Tom by Pulitzer Prize-winner and MacArthur Fellows Program “Genius Grant” recipient Suzan-Lori Parks. One of the first regional productions of this groundbreaking work, Sally & Tom is a bold, witty, and inventive play-within-a-play exploring the tangled relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings. Parks uses sharp humor and layered storytelling to ask urgent questions about power, agency, love, and the histories we choose to tell.
Sally & Tom will star Angelique Archer as Luce/Sally; Jonathan Flippo as Mike/Tom; Olivia D. Dawson as Maggie/Mary; Hollis Edwards III as Kwame/James; Amy Downing as Ginger/Patsy; Charlene Hong White as Scout/Polly; Kevin Pellicone as Geoff/Cooper; and Martavius Parrish as Devon/Nathan.
In addition to direction by Dave Steakley, the production team includes: Yunina Barbour-Payne as assistant director and dramaturg; Christa Oliver as choreographer; Daniel Conway as scenic and properties designer; Nanette Acosta as Costume Designer; Sarah EC Maines as lighting designer; Anna Fugate-Downs as hair & makeup designer; Leslie Ann Boyden as AEA stage manager; Harriet Butler as AEA assistant stage manager; and Breanna Pruitt as production assistant.
