Who gets to write our history? Sally & Tom is Pulitzer Prize-winner Suzan-Lori Parks’ sharp, funny play-within-a-play about the mythologized relationship between Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. As a scrappy theater company prepares to stage a historical drama, the messy rehearsal process unravels to reveal hilarious contradictions, personal tensions, and questions with no easy answers. Flipping between present day and scenes from their play, lines blur as Sally & Tom turns American mythmaking on its head in this deeply entertaining regional premiere. ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT Suzan-Lori Parks is widely regarded as one of the most influential living American playwrights. A MacArthur Fellowship 'Genius Grant' recipient, two-time Tony Award-winner, and the first African-American woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Drama (Topdog/Underdog), Parks is celebrated for her bold, lyrical reimagining of American history and identity.
