Slave Play at Garden Theatre

Book by Jeremy O. Harris

Directed by Nakeisha Daniel

Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems. This exciting, new, and thoughtful work nominated for 12 Tony awards, rips apart history to shed new light on the nexus of race, gender and sexuality in 21st-century America. Short North Stage is pleased to present the regional premiere of this provocative and groundbreaking Broadway play.

**Join us in lively talkback following each Sunday matinee performance! Talkbacks are facilitated live on stage by Erin Upchurch of Ohio REST Collective and the cast of Slave Play.

Each show will be supported by a member of The Ohio REST Collective. These trained professionals will hold space for audience members when needed.

Talkbacks will be facilitated by co-founders of The Ohio REST Collective, Karen Hewitt (ze/hir/she/her) and Erin upchurch (she/her). Talkbacks will occur Sundays after the show. Audience members have already seen the show on a non-talk back day are welcome to join these talk backs.
